This course will give students the opportunity to explore programs from communities across the U.S. that have been showcased at Vision 20/20 symposiums. These programs demonstrate what nationally recognized organizations identify as examples of best practices in community risk reduction. At the end of the course learners will be evaluated through a 25 question multiple choice examination. A final grade will be provided to each student. The minimum score needed to pass is 70.
