Goals:
The long-term goal for Together We Can is to
develop and fund a One Stop Shop Community Resource Center. Our goal is to
raise enough capital to buy and rehabilitate a building or home in Queens to
house the community center. Our goal is
for the location to be in the heart of the Jackson Heights and the Elmhurst
Community as there are over 148 languages and different cultures. Some of the
resources the one stop shop community center would include are: job
development, drug and alcohol resources, domestic violence support services,
youth services, prevention services, case management, English language classes,
parenting classes, anger management, legal services, child care referrals, food
stamps, a food bank, clothing closet and other related community services.
Our short-term
goal for Together We Can is to offer various trainings, community café
engagement workshops, and a variety of community events (fund-raisers,
festivals and more) until the community center is up and running. This will
serve as a great method to engage and retain interested community members.
Founders are:
