The web site Contentbank is a project of The Children’s Partnership, a national child advocacy organization working to expand digital opportunities for all of America’s children and families. The purpose of the Children’s Partnership is to forge agendas for youth in areas where none exist, to help assure that disadvantaged children have the resources they need to succeed. Contentbank connects the staff of community-based organizations, who work directly with underserved residents, with the tools and information they need to find high-quality, relevant online content as well as help them to create their own local content, thereby reducing duplicative program development. There are guidelines and tools that assist with content creation and evaluation, and assist with disability, English as an alternative language, and limited-literacy issues. Health educators can use guidelines established here to create low-barrier content for their programs.
