Neighborhood Inclusion Task Force Committee
Established in 2018, the Neighborhood Inclusion Task Force has been working to combat gentrification by developing anti-gentrification policies.
C.C.C.O. hopes to welcome new community members while protecting long-term community members ensuring they are not pushed out by new development coming to our neighborhood.
In 2019, we partnered with the Warren/Junction Community Council to successfully mobilized our residents in campaigning against rezoning areas of our neighborhood into an industrial zone until appropriate environmental and traffic studies be completed and results shared with
Youth Committee
Highlights:
A representative from Detroit Promise Scholarship has spoken to our youth resulting in multiple students receiving full-ride scholarships to Michigan Universities.
We were honored to assist several youths in completing job application requirements for the Grow Detroit's Young Talent Summer Job program, which was successfully awarded summer jobs.
Our youth committee helps prepare neighborhood youth for high school, college, leadership, college tours (U of M, etc.), monthly youth night activities, and workshops facilitated by subject matter experts (FAFSA application preparation, etc.).
Presentations and Workshops
From November 2017 to May 2018, we held a series of workshops for our group's youth leaders. The youth presented leadership information to their peers by picking a topic, putting together a presentation with support from staff, and then giving the workshop independently. Youth Committee hosts numerous presentations related to:
Bringing in career professionals to share what it takes to get specific jobs, including a surgeon, a City Official, a Pharmacist, and more.
Providing community resources like the Community Development Advocates of Detroit (CDAD), Detroit Land and Water Works, and more.
Youth Nights
Established in September of 2016, C.C.C.O.'s youth committee holds monthly youth nights for youth ages 13-18 every third Thursday of the month. Youth nights are intended to be a space designed to break from the daily schedules, demands in your lives. A typical youth night event consists of food, games, and guest speakers, which include university officials, career professionals, and community leaders.
