Collaborate & Celebrate
Join us at Try This West Virginia for a day of planning, ideating, and celebrating with organizations across the state.
We have a lot of organizations to celebrate! We also have a lot of organizations and people who need our help!
In the wake of the cuts to WV's AmeriCorps program, leaders from across the state will come together during the day to discuss how to support those who are working to make our communities healthier overcome the immense challenges these changes have created.
The awards dinner will take place from 6:00-7:30 pm on June 6th.

Community Evaluation Benchmarks for a Healthy Local Economy
There is a clear link between healthy communities and economic opportunity. CHWV's Community Evaluation Tool's Benchmark help community leaders create both.
Communities that work to meet CHWV’s evaluation benchmarks improve community’s quality of life and reduce healthcare costs.
City and county leaders across West Virginia are working to make their communities more attractive to people and businesses. The CHWV evaluation framework can help.
