Placing Young Adults at the Forefront of Community Transformations
Get InvolvedAt The County Collectives (CoCo), we take intersectionality seriously by asking ourselves whose voices are missing and then center those people. Our emphasis is on leadership driven by young ladies and women but we are inclusive of all.
We create and partner with other grassroots organizations to deliver events, programs & ecosystems that positively impact our greater community.
From volunteering to create drive-in movie experiences during COVID to helping neighbors move who were fleeing to safety from unjust attacks, we continue to show up!
Our more seasoned adult program champions help to elevate our up-and-coming young adult leaders through helping to open opportunities and empowering them to take action.
We have developed numerous creative opportunities to obtain community insight that is more than completing a survey or joining a focus group. Additionally, we actively listen to all sides.
From attending city council meetings, testifying on issues, or leading peaceful protests, our women leaders and co-conspirator allies are willing to put the effort forward to ensure that their cohort is heard.
We take a different view on today's most pressing issues as our viewpoint is younger. Our young adults create opportunities for resilient community transformations by taking a long-term view of today's greatest challenges.
