How We Serve Our Community

Resident Leadership
Every activation is designed, led, and guided by DC residents.
Pilot Program
Our first activation launched during a community festival, where neighbors and friends canvassed to connect directly with residents.
Community Voice
Through interactive activities, we gathered input on the types of activations people wanted and identified where to begin.
Built-In Feedback
Surveys are included with every RSVP so community voices continue to shape future programs.

We center the existing power and value within the community.

Our Core Areas of Work

We connect residents to skills, training, and career pathways that create long-term stability and opportunity.
We strengthen neighborhood ties through resident-led activations, leadership circles, and spaces where families support one another.
We expand access to physical, mental, and cultural health resources that restore balance, dignity, and resilience.

202 COMMONS Launch
We’ll spend the afternoon building momentum for the first activation of 202 COMMONS, in support of the act i: COMMON PPL campaign.
We'll be hitting the streets, posting flyers, stickers, hanging door tags, and connecting with our community. Our goal is to increase the visibility of 202 COMMONS, encourage people to join our community, and donate to power future activations for the city.
