Community Engagement

Over the past 40 years, BFDI has engaged the community to be active participants in creating the community environment that is supportive of the needs of parents and children.

The establishment of block clubs in the Osborn, Denby and Cody Rouge communities have improved social cohesion. The social cohesion has yielded the critical "working together" that helps the community solve problems and build a stronger healthier community.

Residents of the Osborn, Denby and Cody Rouge communities are assuming more responsibility for their future and assuming more responsibility for outcomes in their community.

Community Engagement Project Goals

* Identify new block clubs and engage members in increased community engagement

* Engage existing block clubs in leadership training including advocacy strategies

* Support the long term sustainability of existing block clubs
