# Coalitions

The Coalitions module allows you to document and manage the coalitions your unit participates in or facilitates. Track membership composition, meeting events, relationship depth, and the influence your coalition has on SNAP-Ed objectives. Each coalition record captures the full picture of collaborative efforts, from the sectors represented at the table to the outcomes achieved through collective action.
