Community Mobilization and Engagement Structure
Consistent with the principles of Collective Impact 3.0, CAI acts as a backbone for all activities to mobilize and build the capacity of community members and stakeholders to work together to establish a common vision for, and take action to, address enduring health disparities in rates of chronic disease for African American/Black residents of the Ferry Street Corridor.
Our community mobilizing structure builds on existing assets within the Buffalo community to establish a Leadership Group (LG), Community Action Team (CAT), and Innovation Groups (IGs) that are strengthened by a Ferry Corridor Resident Action Team as Community Wellness Champions (CWC).
