  • A taskforce is a focused working group formed to address a specific issue or goal. It brings together staff, community leaders, and stakeholders to discuss, plan, and coordinate actions around a defined area of work.

    In our case, the taskforce serves as a space to:

    • Assess community needs and priorities

    • Develop strategies and plans aligned with our mission

    • Coordinate outreach and engagement efforts

    • Share information, resources, and best practices

    • Support ongoing work through collaboration and accountability

    Taskforces are action-oriented and time-bound, helping ensure efforts are intentional, organized, and effective while remaining aligned with our values and responsibilities as a nonprofit organization.

Lots of Events are Happening.

Every month we have opportunities for you to show your support, learn, share, and be in community.
