Because communities face many needs, Urban Strategies’ work touches on a wide range of issues ranging from housing, economic development, child care, youth and families, education, mentoring, and volunteerism. In these efforts, we serve in a variety of capacities depending on the needs and strengths of each of our community partners. Specifically, we provide services in the following ways:
Training and Technical Assistance
When agencies recognize the need for increased capacity, they turn to Urban Strategies for help. We provide relevant guidance to start-up and seasoned organizations alike. Our approach transcends basic information dissemination by assessing organizations’ capacity needs; tailoring presentations and materials; assembling expert training teams; coaching and mentoring organizational leaders and staff; and equipping organizations with the knowledge, skills, and tools that will help them thrive

We work in partnership with grassroots organizations to ensure our efforts are part of a comprehensive strategy to leverage the existing investments, relationships, and assets of community and faith-based organizations.
