Community Engagement & Racial Equity
About the work
We at The Center for Community Solutions continue in our historical commitment to advocacy on behalf of the health and human services sector. We have made critical strides on behalf of older adults, parents, and children in our policy work. Still, we want to be sure that our continued work and commitment to identifying solutions involve community voice. To do our best with such engagement we are assessing, enhancing and growing our lens for racial equity and justice. While we have aimed to do our best work, we humbly accept the responsibility to make sure we show up as our very best selves for community.
We are deepening our presence in the neighborhood via digital and in person dialogues, forums, and workshops. We want YOU to know how our research, analysis, and advocacy can elevate awareness, and build relationships and collaborations so that our systems and leadership can best serve the community.
My name is Zulma Zabala, Senior Fellow for Community and Racial Equity, here to serve this purpose. If you’d like to reach out on any of the events, blogs and essays posted on this page please contact zzabala@communitysolutions.com
