Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Public Education and Outreach expenses: The TOP Ed fund identifies issues of concern in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods and partners with experts to provide training, host town hall meetings, and host public forums to promote education and understanding of the community-identified issues and solutions, so that residents have the tools they need to effectively address issues in their community. In 2010, we conducted outreach and public education on issues such as affordable housing, improving neighborhood infrastructure, improving public schools, affordable health care, and immigrants' rights.

Activity 3

Leadership Development expenses: TOP Ed Fund Community Organizers and Outreach workers go door-to-door in our targeted low-to-moderate income neighborhoods to talk to the residents, identify issues of common concern, and assist residents to become active in addressing those issues. Organizers work both one-on-one and in group settings with residents to increase their community outreach skills and engage their neighbors in joining their efforts to improve their neighborhoods. Residents also learn effective tools and strategies for planning and leading meetings, issue-campaign planning, engaging the media, and increasing civic participation in their neighborhoods.
