Leadership Development
Our Mission
We build power to advocate for healthy and equitable investments in City Heights and beyond.
Cultivating leadership is one of the most effective ways to strengthen and stabilize a historically disinvested community. Through organization, collaboration, popular education, and leadership coaching, we see leaders rise up and bring their community with them.
We work hard to connect City Heights residents to local decision-making bodies and groom them to serve on local committees, boards, and commissions. The goal is to increase representation on local committees through outreach and training by supporting and encouraging the participation of historically under-represented groups.
The best kind of help doesn’t come from outside a community but from within, and we believe the best and most sustainable solutions to our city’s challenges will come from those who are closest to the issues.
