Resources for Outreach Partners
The Outreach Handbook
Thanks for joining us! You’ll find everything you need right here.
DIRECTIONS:
If you are collating a handbook for the first time, we recommend using a 1 ½ or 2 inch, 3-ring binder with two pockets. You will also need color folders or some other kind of divider for each section/chapter. If you are updating your current Handbook, you’ll find that the topics are color-coded for your convenience. Unless otherwise indicated, all inserts require letter size paper for printing. Make as many copies as you need!
