Join us for a dialogue with leaders working to build community capacity in Oakland---one healthy child, employed parent, successful school, and united city block at a time.

How do these leaders measure success and know they’re making a difference? What are their most persistent challenges?

Learn how government agencies, nonprofits and others are working together to promote economic, social and neighborhood development. Discussion will focus on collective efforts to improve and protect employment, education, housing, health and safety in Oakland.
