WHO ARE WE

Community Partnership Collaborative 2.0 is a grassroots organization that focuses on community economic development, organizational capacity building, and community health and wellness. CPC 2.0 focuses on the Big SIX social determinants of health: mental health, medical health, social health, physical health, financial health, and the civic health of the community.

Established in 2010 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2017 Community Partnership Collaborative 2.0 believes, in order for our communities to heal we have to redistribute the spiritual wealth and economic wealth lost to our community through injustice and oppressive systems of racism. Through economic development, planning, organizing, and implementation we must replant our roots firmly in our communities so our communities can grow healthy children, healthy families, and healthy food.

MISSION STATEMENT

In our efforts to improve the social determinants of health, the mission of CPC 2.0 is to connect, engage, educate, train, refer, develop, create and support our communities in their efforts to grow healthy children, healthy families, and healthy food.

Better Together! Building Together!

Team Work, Makes The Dream Work!

QUOTES TO LIVE BY

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

By Martin Luther

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men. 

Without culture there can be no growth; without exertion, no acquisition; without friction, no polish; without labor, no knowledge; without action, no progress; and without conflict, no victory. 

By Frederick Douglass

People feel good about themselves when they’re working. All these other things people come up with–housing programs and youth programs and all that–that’s all well and good. But somewhere in each family there has to be a job. And that job begets housing and also makes it possible for people to get the education they want. It creates the desire for education. Out of that comes everything else.”

By Nellie Stone Johnson

Everyone wants a happy life without difficulties or suffering. We create many of the problems we face. No one intentionally creates problems, but we tend to be slaves to powerful emotions like anger, hatred and attachment that are based on misconceived projections about people and things. We need to find ways of reducing these emotions by eliminating the ignorance that underlies them and applying opposing forces.

By Dalai Lama

Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologize for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind. Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth.

By Mahatma Gandhi

It’s difficult in times like these; ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
