Action Groups

In July 2022, two Action Groups will form:

Community Wealth Building

Action Group

Community wealth building is about increasing economic prosperity and quality of life for every person, family, and the community as a whole. It’s about greater collective ownership, participation, and control of resources and our future by those who live, work, and play in the North End community.

Strong Resource Connections

Action Group

Strong resource connections is about better connecting community members with quality resources—like relationships, services, knowledge, funding, and opportunities—in the community. This work includes making it easier and faster to connect with services and opportunities offered across organizations as well as improving their accessibility to individuals and families in the community.

Why

Action Groups are about the action and doing of the NECC. Members take action to turn the shared vision of a vibrant & thriving North End into reality.

Who

Open to any community members and organizations who are impacted by / impacting each focus area

What

Action Groups will be…

    • Setting the long-term and short-term goals of each group
    • Defining what action it will take to reach these goals together
    • Holding each other responsible for following-through on actions
    • Deciding how to measure and learn from progress along the way

How

At the first Action Group meetings in July 2022, members will decide on group agreements, including member roles and how/where/when to meet
