Why is this work so crucial?

Their futures depend on it

Financial and social vulnerability take many forms within a community. From underfunded schools and resource instability to lack of essential services, each missing piece of the puzzle impacts student attendance, behavior and outcomes.

 

How We Do It

Coordination and Cooperation

A whole community is a system of interconnected parts, each relying on one another to achieve large-scale, sustainable change. By supporting existing connections and creating new ones through place-based, resident-lead solutions, we advocate meaningful change to the public policies and social systems that impact our communities.
