Get Involved
Johnson County is fortunate to have a vibrant network of local organizations that seek to improve the lives of residents. We have partnered with several of these local organizations to co-create the JCHPF as a place that enhances public services to all. Johnson County is thankful to the more than 30 local organizations that have contributed their time and ideas to the JCHPF.
Three committees have been formed to gather feedback on infrastructure improvements and ensure that the farm is developed to meet community needs and desires.
DAC
Disability Advisory Committee
The DAC was created to put those who have disabilities or care for people with disabilities in an advisory position when it comes to the development of the site and considerations for their needs and historic connection to the site. This committee provides feedback on site improvements, activities, and future developments to ensure a disability-first framework.
​
To remain true to its role and responsibilities, 60% of membership should be people with disabilities and 40% should be able-bodied members.
Historical Resources
Group
(inactive)
The HRG is made up of local professionals from public, private, and educational institutions with a background in historic preservation/research. The HRG oversees many of the historic aspects of the JCHPF. Their work is much needed as the very nature of the farm makes it difficult to gather artifacts, pictures, and stories from or about former residents. For instance, many families may not have known they had relatives at the farm or are ashamed to admit that they did.
HRG
Community Action
Team
(inactive)
The CAT consists of representatives from different organizations and agencies that serve Johnson County residents. The main role of the CAT is to assess the needs of the community members they serve, and find opportunities for the farm to fill those gaps. The CAT has also advised on different projects such as the design of the Healing Trail and the preservation of the Asylum. The CAT is always open for membership by local non-profits, agencies, and community groups.
