Residents Driving Change : Community Vision and Voice

Village Teams Council

The Village Teams Council works to develop a formal governance structure to make decisions around the comprehensive work in The Village. The goals for this team include:

  • Reflecting the diversity of the community in the structure, providing ownership opportunities, and supporting the components of a healthy Village.
  • Strengthening leadership that supports residents in uniting and mobilizing their neighbors to address community needs and concerns.
  • Building capacity to help working teams drive the growth and development of The Village.
  • Supporting and connecting networks and resources that strengthen the components of a healthy Village.
  • Developing opportunities that foster positive relationships between and among diverse cultures, generations, and beliefs to unify neighbors, and strengthen communities.



We believe in the potential of residents to change their own neighborhoods.
