Description of Services: Community Building in Action (CBA) was started in 2001 to engage and support neighborhood organizations and block groups throughout Rochester. As ABC interacted with residents, strategies were created to address the priority issues that emerged. Our mission is to provide training and services which allow individuals and resident groups to shape their environments and take a greater role in their community. The following projects have been created to support these efforts:
- Neighbors ROC– Community Outreach and Support
- FOCUS (Family Opportunities Created Utilizing Support) - family self-sufficiency project
- Community Leadership Development- ongoing series of trainings
- Rochester Walks! partnership with the Center for Community Health to identify strategies to increase resident physical activity
- Group Work Camps- volunteer based home improvement project
-
Community Action Angels - state-wide network of volunteer opportunities that was founded on a belief in
the “Circle of Giving”
