OUR WORK

We partner with community members and institutional partners to build and share community power through a model and infrastructure that integrates co-design, implementation, communication, mobilization, and evaluation to transform systems. Our systems change efforts advocate for social justice by addressing housing, immigration, food security, safety, public health, poverty, and other systemic inequities.

We provide consultation, technical assistance and capacity building on our Community Transformation model in the following areas:

Community Co-Goverance. 12+ community-driven Neighborhood Leadership Groups (NLGs) that mobilize people power and community resources.

Promotora Workforce. Highly skilled and community- centered workforce that facilitate community leadership, systems change, and resource mobilization.

Trusted Resource Network. A county-wide network of 100+ partners that leverage and mobilize information, funding, food, emergency supplies, and other critical resources.

Community Engagement. Effective practices and strategies to recruit, retain, and mobilize community members.
