Residents Driving Change

Community Vision and Voice

Civic engagement drives the work in Market Creek. Working teams of community residents unite across neighborhoods, cultures, and generations to strengthen joint action and expand their ability of people to break down barriers, engage in the creative exchange of ideas, and get things done. Diverse people working across unlikely relationships are the foundation of long-term sustainability of community change.

As they work together to build a secure and vibrant place to live, residents bring the best of themselves and their cultures together to promote understanding, encourage creativity and problem-solving, and find their voice.

Our work is based on the assumption that all people can and must lead – including our youth. This builds skills, strengthens relationships, and brings new voices to the table.

These coalitions and teams include:



We believe in the potential of residents to change their own neighborhoods.



Exploring new philanthropic roles and relationships for strengthening under-invested neighborhoods
