To create a vision for the future and long-term change in a community, it’s essential to have a strong, well-conceived community engagement plan and process that allows the voices within the community to be heard. Having outsiders and experts apply their values and preconceived notions of what a community needs is a recipe for failure. This session is led by three skilled change agents, with experiences working across boundaries in a variety of communities. They share their insights, stories, and approaches for bringing people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and generations together to envision what they want their neighborhoods and communities to become, determine priorities, address problems and issues, and take greater responsibility for where they live, work, and play.

Editor's Notes
- Use this slide. Change Chinatown photo. Check photos on Excelsior. In selecting these sites, they had some common attributes (?): BA LISC has been a partner with the convening agency. Chinatown ------ years through our capacity building and affordable housing programs, AmeriCorps, grants and loans. Excelsior ____ years through our commercial corridor and capacity building programs, AmeriCorps, grants and loans. Nystrom ____ years ( do we count Main Street ???) through our commercial corridor program, housing, green, and planning technical assistance, and AmeriCorps. In each BA LISC and the convening have partnership with the local government. 2 of the neighborhoods are slated for major redevelopment projects, Nystrom with 5 key sites, including the public housing, and Chinatown with the Central Subway project. In the Excelsior and more recently Chinatown, the MOEWD has partnered with LISC commercial corridor program. Each convening agency has been identified as neighborhood convenor. Each organization had its own mission and commitment to comprehensive work in their neighborhood.
- Whole neighborhood.. Not just silos of services.. All kids… no matter what
- SO this is about building a shared vision for a community. In our work we seek to lead with our values. Shared values often transcend issues, because values tend not to change whereas issues. Also values help get through differences on issues…
- We started partnership with LISC as part of their Neighbors Excelling Together program in 2010 to do more to make our neighborhood a place to support families. We started with a Listening campaign to build relationships based on common interests, and to find leaders.
- 200 residents said yes. Twice. We had found our leaders. In two meetings, these leaders identified 4 neighborhood priorities.
- Police Services and Stopping Sex Trafficking Police Officers with long term assignments to the neighborhood. Ongoing meetings between officers and residents.
- Get rid of motels that allow sex trafficking School District trains their key staff to recognize sexual exploitation of minors for their key staff.
- Start sports programs at neighborhood schoolyards Work with the school district, Oakland Parks and Recreation and non-profits to run them.
- Jobs Start a training and placement pipeline for jobs in Oakland’s specialty food sector Start a grocery store that provides jobs for people with employment barriers.
