Community Connections Collaborative (CCC) is an unincorporated nonprofit association of seasoned leaders and connectors within the Philadelphia Community. Our motto is Relationships Matter. Our mission is to facilitate connections and collaboration among individuals, groups, and service providers to improve community health and quality of life. Our vision is to be a thriving community of information advocates and social service providers increasing access to knowledge, resources and tools that overcome barriers to collaboration and sharing. Our current focus for action is:
(1) Building and strengthening relationships with grassroots organizations serving Philadelphia, with focus on those addressing trauma and wellness.
(2) Making and strengthening strategic connections between leaders.
(3) Sharing tools to assist grassroots organizations to inform the community of their services and events, such as Wikidelphia.Org.
(4) Promoting the value of network development and coordination, leading to effective collaboration.
In due time, we look forward to in the future to collaboratively…
(1) Share the stories of how grassroots organizations in the Philadelphia area came to be as told from a relational perspective through short videos by their leaders.
(2) Engage and train the youth in story telling and video production, learning about the grassroots organizations in the process.
(3) Convene a summit for grassroots organizations to provide a channel for open communications and problem solving among leaders facing similar challenges.
Stayed tuned for updates on our progress. All good things take time.
