About
Creighton Community Foundation's (CCF) core program "Community Works" leverages neighborhood schools to support vibrant communities in the poorest parts of urban phoenix, where neighborhoods suffer from poverty driven disadvantage and disengagement. in these neighborhoods, today's children will spend 91% of their lives between 0 and 18 years of age outside school hallways. Vibrant supportive communities today have a determinative influence on child outcomes, and tomorrow's neighborhoods. What does it take to change an isolated, disengaged community into one filled with adult supportive relationships and a community of hope and inspiration? We leverage best practices in community transformation, centered around relocation, redistribution, and reconciliation by embedding a school connected worker in our poorest neighborhoods, living 7x24 in residence, working in child and community relationship, and building bridges with key community partners and resources. The change is here already.
