COMMUNITY OUTREACH/PROGRAMMING

One of the three desk and supply giveaways we did for the youth of West Contra Costa County

Our Community Outreach branch aims to find and connect these communities, while providing tools and resources they might need. We hope to connect communities of survivors so a greater network of support and resources can flourish. Our Community Programing branch focuses on the planning and execution of our events and longstanding programs within the organization. These two teams work closely together to serve our community.

Our team has a virtual team organizing and handling event logistics for virtual events and setting up our structured programming. We also have an ‘On the ground team’ (OTG) who organize and execute events, giveaways, resource fairs, supply drives in person! We currently only accept applications for the virtual team, however if members are in the region of the in person event, they are encouraged to join!
