Community Pulse Project uses community outreach to strengthen connections among neighbors, increase civic engagement and reach families in areas with historically low voter participation.
The project brings together community conversations, neighborhood events and outreach efforts to better understand local needs, strengths and opportunities. The initiative connects residents with resources and creates spaces for more people to get involved in their community.
