IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The Empowerment and Leadership Development (ELD) program supports community groups in under served and under represented neighborhoods to organize community events and activities and support their participation in civic affairs and public decision making. In FY 2023 this program included training community members in environmental advocacy who conducted watershed and open space cleanup activities and advocacy development. In addition to ongoing advocacy for public safety, parking, and other community needs. CHEER convened 50 Long Branch community members representative of the whole community to set goals and take actions related to housing and community development in anticipation of development of the Purple Line, a light rail public transit with two stations in Long Branch. The ELD program also engaged an average of 13 community volunteers per week in neighborhood food distributions for Long Branch at New Hampshire Estates Elementary School. In FY 2023 they distributed more than146,000 pounds of food to 716 different households. The weekly Food distribution provided opportunities to get information about community interests and needs and to share information about programs, opportunities, and resources. In FY 2023, CHEER continued to foster leadership through community-based gardening by providing about a dozen people who have no access to land to garden on space donated by other community members.

This is a collective impact effort in the Long Branch community in Silver Spring, Maryland to develop and implement a unified plan for improving youth outcomes by raising youth and community voice and integrating youth into community activities. In FY 2023 LBCAY initiated a Youth Participatory Action Research group to focus on reducing trash in Long Branch. The YPAR group involves 18 Long Branch youth in partnership with Nature Forward. LBCAY recruited 20 youth to serve as table ambassadors at State Delegate Lorig Charkoudian's Power in the Park event. The youth acted as interpreters and shared information on energy saving programs available to Long Branch residents. LBCAY recruited five youth volunteers for the summer youth services camp. Youth also participated in the community housing and community development stakeholder sessions and staffed tables at other community events. 30 Long Branch parents also attended a community conversation with the Montgomery County Public School Board President and staff to discuss school safety, school bus transportation, ESOL placement, after school programming and academic support.
