They are also helpful for anyone who wants to create a high quality program.

Following these steps will incorporate best practices in developing your HSTEP!

Step One

Administration and Approval

HSTEPs often start with “grass roots” effort, but planning for approvals first will facilitate achievement.

Start Your HSTEP

Step Two

Community Involvement

Harness the power of community to realize your HSTEP, including experts, leaders, and employers.

Step Three

Planning Committee

Don’t be fooled by the name of this committee. This is where the action is.
