Summary
ACL’s National Caregiver Support Collaborative (NCSC) invites organizations implementing the National Family Caregiver Support Program or Native American Caregiver Support Program to participate in two new action-oriented peer learning series launching this summer.
Cohort 3 will focus on building and strengthening community partnerships, including focus areas such as engaging new partners, using data to strengthen partnerships, and improving coordination, referrals, and share support for caregivers.
Cohort 4 will focus on leveraging caregiver assessments to meet caregiver needs, including focus areas such as expanding the use of caregiver assessments across programs, using assessment results to drive action, and building staff capacity to implement new assessment tools or refine existing approaches.
Eligible participant organizations include state units on aging, area agencies on aging, Title VI programs, tribes, local service providers, Native Hawaiian providers, kinship organizations, and disability services network providers. Teams may consist of up to three individuals per organization, and at least one representative must hold a leadership role, have decision-making authority, or be positioned to influence organization actions based on insights gained through the learning series.
Each learning series includes three meetings scheduled over the course of two months, beginning in June 2026. To apply to participate in one or both cohorts, organizational leader must submit an expression of interest by Wednesday, June 3, at 8:00 p.m.
