“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
                                                        — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Rooted in this vision of collective responsibility, we are a diverse collaborative of community members and professionals united across sectors with a shared commitment to justice, equity, and the well-being of all. As part of Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries, our mission is to strengthen the social and economic fabric of our region by addressing the systemic barriers that impact our communities.

​

We believe that sustainable change begins with connection —partnering with existing community efforts, elevating local leadership, and building capacity through professional development and community-centered trainings. Our offerings focus on cultural humility, trauma-informed care, and advocacy — tools that help equip individuals and organizations to respond with compassion and action.
