Every
year, SCOPE engages a diverse group of people in conversations
that focus on what we want our future to be as opposed to problem
solving the past. In these conversations, or “community
studies,” SCOPE frees people to innovate and create new
approaches to change. Topics are chosen by local residents and
have included race and cultural relations, affordable housing,
school dropout, redevelopment and infill, family violence, traffic
flow and congestion, mental health and aging. With each completed
study, SCOPE volunteers work as partners with public officials,
individuals and organizations to put those ideas into action
and create meaningful change in the community. |
