Community Empowerment Collaboration (CEC)
This collaboration empowers individuals to share in the ownership of our city and shape a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to making St. Joseph a great place to live.
We need to have conversations that lead to education, awareness and leadership. We have begun those conversations. Today begins the opportunity for a group of concerned citizens to shape conversations, participate in activities and identify a need in the community that compels the group to act. The act does not have to be grandiose, just thoughtful and sustainable.
