On June 1 and June 15 at the Clarkston Community Center, Clarkston Development Foundation gave a brief update about their current work in the Clarkston community and led each group in a visioning process that encouraged both residents and other people invested in the Clarkston community to share some of their hopes and dreams with each other.
Out of these initial meetings of about 100 people, 4 strategy and action groups will be formed for continued conversation and collaboration:
- Education
- Family Advocacy
- Health Services
- Urban Agriculture
The work of these groups will shape and inform the work of Clarkston Development Foundation in all the 4 initiative areas but will also serve as a place for focused conversation on other work in the Clarkston community as well.
CDF will plan to host two update meetings twice a year, one in January and the other in June.
If you would like to join us at the next community update meeting or to join us at another community conversation, please contact us and let us know by emailing us at engage@clarkstondevelopmentfoundation.org .
