Sharing and Amplifying Community Voices
The Family Success Institute took on an ambitious project, launching a series of Community Action Forums to provide opportunities for New Jersey community members to come together. Recognizing that the people who know their communities best are those who live, work and grow within them, we proudly organized more than 40 Forums.
Convened by trusted local leaders, these Forums created a space for dialogue, allowing residents to voice concerns and frustrations while actively working toward solutions to address barriers to success for each specific community. This website hosts a library of files, including video, audio and data collected from the Forums – allowing us to hear directly from residents about how to improve opportunities and support for families.
