Reciprocity and mutual benefit are two conceptually and operationally distinct aspects of community-engaged partnerships. This webinar will help practitioners operationalize reciprocity as a process-oriented concept through the role community partners play in engagement and service activities. Participants worked together to articulate the “level” of reciprocity present across different roles, and discussed the pragmatic pros and cons of this framing.
Participants will leave with a sense of difference between mutual benefit and reciprocity and why this difference matters. A better understanding of foundational, but often conflated, aspects of partnerships is essential to understanding how to encourage and support engagement.
