CCF is excited to host the 2nd Annual Strengthening the Health of Neighborhoods Program!
This year’s program continues to build on our mission to empower neighborhoods by providing crucial support to advance safety and resilience within KC neighborhoods. Through the Strengthening the Health of Neighborhoods program, participants receive the tools, resources, and guidance needed to develop impactful violence prevention projects that directly benefit their neighborhoods.
WHAT IS THE STRENGTHENING THE HEALTH OF NEIGHBORHOODS PROGRAM?
The Strengthening the Health of Neighborhoods program is a ten-month initiative designed to provide programmatic support and resources for neighborhoods looking to advance violence prevention efforts. This program offers funding for both neighborhood-driven projects and a monthly stipend to program participants, ensuring their dedication is recognized and supported. Projects must have neighborhood support and be aligned with the goals of fostering safety, inclusivity, and long-term community health. By the end of the program, participants will have the knowledge and experience to make lasting change in their neighborhood.
