Preparation in the JFK Partners curriculum will be supplemented with new experiences with the Colorado Diversity Community of Practice (CoP). Objectives include: a) Training two DFs in didactic and practical experiences in 2017-18; b) Mentoring DFs in community-based Capstone Projects, and c) Implementing recruitment of at least one DF for 2018-19.
