Creighton Community Foundation

Creighton Community foundation's (CCF) core program "Community works" leverages neighborhood schools to support vibrant communities in the poorest parts of urban Phoenix, where neighborhoods suffer from poverty- driven disadvantage and disengagement. In these neighborhoods, today's children will spend 91% of their lives between 0 and 18 years of age outside school hallways. Vibrant supportive communities today have a determinative influence on child outcomes, and tomorrow's neighborhoods. What does it take to change an isolated, disengaged Community into one filled with adult supportive relationships and a Community of hope and inspiration? We leverage best practices in Community transformation, centered around relocation, redistribution, and reconciliation by embedding a school-connected worker in our poorest neighborhoods, living 7x24 in residence, working in child and Community relationship, and building bridges with key Community partners and resources. The change is here already.
