Our Impact

Collective Impact Initiative

Collective impact brings people together in a structured way to achieve social change.

In the collective impact model, it is vital to have

"the commitment of a group of important actors from different sectors to a common agenda for solving a specific social problem."-Kania, J., & Kramer, M. (2011). Collective Impact. Stanford Social Innovation Review

We need the help from community leaders in all sectors and community members with lived experience to move this work foward.
