| description | Building trust and rapport is crucial in
developing sustainable relationships with communities
of color who have suffered historical trauma (Nguyen-
Truong, Closner, & Fritz, 2019; 1Nguyen-Truong,
1Leung, & Micky, 2020a). A history of nuclear
weapons testing by the United States in Micronesia,
and subsequent ill-prepared cleanup efforts, has
created a historical trauma for the Micronesian Islander
community (Letman, 2013). The purpose of this brief
article is to describe a critical foundational engagement
project approach when gaining entrée into a
Micronesian Islander community-based organization
to co-develop the culturally relevant main project to
improve rates of Micronesian Islander enrollment in
early childhood learning (ECL) programs. Building a
sustainable community-academic partnership through
culturally responsive team (CRT) building and
leveraging the collective strengths, to address a
community need, took half a year for relationship
building, and shared decision-making. |
