Summary:

FASTEN sponsored the inaugural “Partners in Transformation” awards program to uncover promising models of faith-based, multi-sector collaborations in ten states (AL, AK, AR, FL, ID, MI, NJ, OH, OK, TX). This report profiles the ten state winners, whose programs ranged from health care to refugee resettlement to mentoring for the homeless, ex-offender reentry, job training, and youth tutoring. It offers descriptions of innovative program approaches and observations about best practices in working in cross-sector partnerships.
