OUR CIRCLE OF IMPACT

◖ The Roadmap ◗

Real change requires shared effort.

ACT I:
COMMON PEOPLE (NOW)

Focus: Building trust, visibility, and funding.

  • Monthly pop-ups and activations in spaces donated by partners and neighbors.

  • Residents connect with workforce, community, and wellness resources in flexible, collaborative spaces.

ACT II:
202 COMMONS (NEXT)

Focus: Creating consistency and daily access.

  • A permanent Commons facility hosting programs every day rather than one-time activations.

  • Workforce development expands into STEM, trades, and arts, alongside community support and wellness programs.

ACT III:
COMMON GOOD (FUTURE)

Focus: Developing a sustainable workforce pipeline.

  • From our network of residents and partners, we build employment pathways rooted in STEM, trades, and arts.

  • Community members move from participants to leaders, shaping a resident-led workforce that reinvests skills and resources back into DC families.

We Aim to Scale

Founded in 2025 we are a growing nonprofit dedicated to making social mobility progress in the following areas:

DC Residents

[DC Born vs Not DC Born] Supporting longtime residents ensures growth is inclusive and community-led.

Life Expectancy

[Based on Ward] Different life spans across wards fuel our focus on proactive care.

DC Unemployment

[Percentage of Unemployment Post-Pandemic] Unemployment rates drive our focus on building pathways to stable careers.

202 Commons expands opportunity by creating resident-led systems that connect families to skills, resources, and wellness support. By focusing on workforce in STEM, trades, and arts, strengthening community connections, and promoting proactive care, we build the stability families need to succeed and lead their neighborhoods.
