Strategies

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly

Lend materials, offer gathering space, and provide educational, civic, and social programming; open to the community and publicly funded

Support and strengthen traumatized and distressed residents and communities and address effects of community trauma (e.g., poverty, violence, structural racism, etc.) via a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder, and multilevel approach

Provide participating high school students with professional opportunities that combine academic and on-the-job training or mentorship
