Description
The Lompoc Self-Healing Communities project will identify and elevate emerging community leaders, including youth, to coordinate and lead collaborative efforts to expand the circle of active community improvement participants beyond traditional organizational boundaries. 

​

Project Goal
The goal is to encourage community members to propose and implement projects that address their needs and concerns to increase connectivity. This strategy is made so the community feels heard and recognized for its expertise while instilling a sense of ownership and reciprocity. 

​

Activities
Walk the Block Events, Block Parties, the Lompoc Self Healing Communities Launch, Community Speaks Meetings, ACES Awareness Event, Emerging Leaders Mentorship, and the Market Place Event and Mini-Grants are among the high-level activities associated with these goals. These activities, which range from bi-monthly door-to-door engagement to community-wide celebrations, seek to generate interest, address needs, and foster collaboration, intending to build a more resilient and interconnected community.
