Community Coalition: defined as “a group of individuals representing diverse organizations, factions, or constituencies within the community who agree to work together to achieve a common goal” (Feighery & Rogers, 1990). Community coalitions can improve the relationship between the individual members and/or organizations, who had never before had the opportunity to collaborate. Apart from fulfilling the short and long-term goals, such collaborations also strengthen the community as a whole. Community coalitions are typically created when there is a need for a shared response to a community concern.
