This workshop explores the issue of children’s health through assets and networks available in Southeast Raleigh around food access and access to places to be active. We will have input from community members, community leaders, and organizations that serve the community, and a chance to develop action plans and partnerships.
This is a unique opportunity for your organization to hear feedback from a group of community members regarding what local services and resources they use, what organizations they trust, and what they identify as needs to be addressed. It aims to be a springboard for small projects, and may create partnerships or initiatives that can receive funds from Voices into Action mini-grants in the future. We will make the results of the workshop and the needs identified by community members available for organizations to use for future projects or grant-writing.
