Serve & Connect, Community Leaders Announce Nationally Funded Initiative
On Wednesday, November 28th at 4:00 p.m., Serve & Connect, along with the Columbia Police Department and Parks and Recreation, will announce the kickoff of an intensive, collaborative effort in the 29203 community. The program aims to promote greater alignment and communication between existing initiatives directed at enhancing the future for our youth. A facilitated, interactive conversation with community members and organizations will follow.
During the past few months, Serve & Connect has worked closely with police and community leaders throughout the Midlands to build trust and connections. A recent grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, intended to develop a national model for effective police and community partnerships, will fund this effort. It will also bring resources, including the Wandersman Center, a research and consultation group lead by internationally acclaimed USC researcher Dr. Abe Wandersman.
