Monthly Community Meetings

The Lincoln and Columbia Neighborhood community meetings are monthly gatherings held on the last Tuesday of each month, focusing on fostering a strong and informed community. These meetings serve as a platform for residents to voice their concerns, discuss neighborhood improvements, and learn about upcoming initiatives. With a core emphasis on empowering individuals to take control of their lives and understand their rights, these gatherings aim to enhance the quality of life for all members of the community.

Resident empowerment groups are dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive community environment that addresses a wide range of personal and communal development areas, with a particular focus on being trauma-informed and enhancing residents' overall quality of life. These groups prioritize key areas such as parenting skills, financial literacy, physical health, holistic well-being, effective communication, workforce skills, and healthy relationships, aiming to equip individuals with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate life's challenges.

Family engagement in the Lincoln and Columbia neighborhoods focuses on creating a vibrant, fun, and safe environment for families to connect with their neighbors and build stronger community ties. These events are designed with the whole family in mind, featuring a variety of activities that cater to all ages, including bounce houses, water slides, and a range of games that encourage active participation and enjoyment.

These family engagement initiatives are made possible through strategic partnerships with key local institutions, including Lincoln Elementary, Columbia Elementary, the Boys and Girls Club, and Fresno Housing. These collaborations ensure a broad-reaching impact, drawing in resources, expertise, and support to enhance the quality and reach of the events.
