WHY

We believe in the Collaborative's mission to end poverty and disrupt persistent community violence.

HOW

We believe that by developing and delivering innovative education/training pathways, employment opportunities, healthcare, legal, climate, and policy advocacy, and other related community programs, the Collaborative will increase wealth attainment, entrepreneurship and employment, promote positive health and wellness outcomes, lower incidents of domestic/community violence, and reduce recidivism, leading to stable, healthy, and economically vibrant neighborhoods.

WHAT

The Collaborative aims to: (1) provide advisory assistance and support to proven-risk individuals and so-called "Opportunity Youth" (2) engage community partners in the development of pathways leading to entrepreneurship and employment supporting neighborhood revitalization; (3) establish a sustainable regional service delivery model which is capable of replication to attain social and economic justice. (4) promote positive health, nutrition, and wellness for individuals and communities, (5) disrupt the school to prison pipeline (6) lower recidivism in the justice system (7) end cycles of community violence and generational poverty through financial literacy and economic opportunity, and (8) establish social impact finance models to reduce government spending.
