Residents Driving Change : Community Vision and Voice

Community Coordinators

Strong, connected communities are built on relationships. Community Coordinators foster relationships by connecting people neighbor-to-neighbor, block-by-block. The team is made up of eight community residents who serve as role models in their neighborhoods, taking on leadership roles and helping connect their neighbors to resources. The Coordinators organize projects and events like tree plantings, graffiti removal, and neighborhood clean-ups as demonstrations to show how individuals can help improve their community by working together. They connect the community to JCNI, as well as the programs and projects shaping The Village at Market Creek.



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