We are a growing movement of partners who believe every community can be a healthy, thriving community - and that equity and racial justice are both necessary and achievable.



When community members have voice and power in the decisions that impact their communities, and express it through civic engagement and leadership, it leads to broader community and policy changes that assure racial, health, and economic equity. Three reinforcing elements are at the heart of Communities of Opportunity.

Place-based and cultural community partnerships that drive change locally.

Policies and systems that create and sustain equity at all levels.

Learning community leverages the power of collective knowledge to accelerate change.

Being housed, healthy, employed, and connected to one’s community are basic human needs. Yet from neighborhood to neighborhood, access to these essentials vary widely. Race, income, and zip code are major predictors of how healthy we are and even how long we live.

Low-income communities and communities of color regularly experience institutional racism in the form of decisions being made for them, and of having their voices, priorities, and strengths disregarded. Communities of Opportunity believes the most meaningful, just, and sustainable solutions are generated in partnership with communities — who know what they need to be healthy and thrive.
