Community Engagement
The Children’s Trust believes in the power of community. When we come together, we can discover solutions to issues that affect us all.
Empowering Communities Through Collaboration
Community involvement and collaboration spark the ability for communities to resolve challenges that children and families face.
Collective Impact
The Children's Trust knows that funding alone is not enough. The real change happens when community members take an active part in making their neighborhoods better. The Trust’s community engagement team members work across the county, listening, connecting and engaging, while supporting participatory decision-making and helping reveal and mobilize community assets, strengths and resources. Using a collective impact model, community groups lead the way supported by The Children’s Trust as a backbone organization that convenes and coordinates partners.
Capacity Building
Working strategically with community support, the team engages neighborhoods throughout the county to revitalize underutilized community space. They listen and lend support in a multitude of ways, including leveraging resources from other partners to build trust and support community goodwill.
Community Engagement and Outreach Grants
Community Engagement and Outreach grants provide community partners with an opportunity to seek funding for existing programs, advocacy efforts or events that support children and families in Miami-Dade County as well as the mission and values of The Children's Trust.
