“(Expenses $ 164,702 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 0) Community Works: Community Works is a comprehensive program focused on activating disadvantaged neighborhoods to enhance youth outcomes and community vibrancy. Community Works involves resident practitioners who lead middle school students in character development and community service activities. It also involves fiduciary sponsorship of PTOs and school programs, using a fee-for-service model to rapidly start services and enhance fiscal governance. Our support extends to fundraising for Junior Ambassador programs, mini-grants for classroom activities, community garden development for school sites, school district event funding (Teacher welcome back type events), funding for extracurricular programs, and pass -through funding for school-based organizations or aspects of the District itself (such as the Family Resource Center). Principally, the activities of this program are all aimed at fostering active, school-engaged communities. But Community Works is also broadly inclusive of a number of community vibrancy-increasing strategies. Building on a decade of strategic land use entitlement work - that today also includes the co-chairing of a Land Use Coalition for Open Space Equity - one facet of Community Works continues to advance plans for digital billboard installations along highway corridors that will create sustainable revenue streams to support our community food security, placemaking, and youth development initiatives. This work is particularly connected to the development and operation of place-making initiatives, including community food-producing agricultural sites that often require subsidization, but are critically important to sustainably addressing the pervasive food inequity and low food access that impair youth household stability and health outcomes in our communities. As a location and land-specific development project, digital billboard projects, and underlying long-term development of appropriate land use entitlements and clearing of regulatory obstacles is synergistic with land development-oriented place-making activities of the organization typically connected to urban agriculture, and the development of both uses may go hand in hand; in essence, this makes communities work in our low-income, open space and food inequitable communities. These initiatives have led to significant community impacts, including food distribution and neighborhood improvement projects. The program's success is rooted in strong partnerships with organizations like Arizona State University and Arizona Trauma Institute, which contribute to our evolving knowledge base for youth development. Community works plans to sub-lease land for digital billboard placements on highway corridors within the next two years, generating revenues for school site programming, fiduciary sponsorship, and support services for disadvantaged community families.”
