Bring people with diverse values and perspectives together to engage in facilitated, inclusive, and informed dialogues about a topic of public concern. Examples include Citizens’ Initiative Reviews, deliberative polling, citizen juries, and citizen’s assemblies.

Provide sealants, fluoride treatment, screening, and other preventive dental care on school grounds via partnerships with dental professionals
