CIMA’s Community Outreach team builds relationships with community members who are not yet connected to CIMA, and provides opportunities for ongoing engagement for those who are. Staff and volunteers make door to door visits, have a presence at community gatherings and public spaces, and host community programming and events. By being available and responsive, we are able to activate people who are ready to be a part of our work. 

The goal of outreach is to increase the number of community members connected to and  with CIMA. We provide opportunities for community members to engage more actively in the work, and grow as leaders. This work builds connection and mutual commitment.

Outreach ensures that community members know how to connect with CIMA, and also that CIMA is hearing the ever evolving realities and priorities of our community. These relationships and dialogue inform CIMA’s programs, advocacy, and strategic direction.
