Blocks Together

Our Mission

We believe that by working together, residents can improve the social, economic and physical conditions of their community. Since its inception in 1993, BT has united thousands of people around multiple community issues, including housing, education, healthcare, safety, city services, and youth programming. Our goals are to: increase the community's capacity to take action to address important issues; challenge members to develop skills to advocate for their community and themselves; address the root causes of poverty and inequality in the community; create neighborhood stability by ensuring that needed resources are invested in the community; and include all people regardless of class, race, age, ethnicity, gender, disability, religion, or sexual orientation.
