Resources for Creating Community Change

Sharing resources, ideas, and tools are the heart of CORE’s work. By working across sectors and seeking out people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences, we’ve been able to glean community wisdom and co-create solutions to move our work forward. Now we want to share all that we have learned with you. 

We welcome you to explore and use our collection of resources to support your work as you look for new ways to build health, equity, and well-being in your community. And if you have something you’d like to add to our resources page, please get in touch with us. We’d love to hear your ideas!
