COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Tackling the Issue

At Empowering You 2 Move, NFP, we believe that healthy communities are built by empowering individuals and families — one connection, one opportunity, and one act of service at a time.

Our approach to community development is holistic. We address the root causes of instability by focusing on the mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual needs of the people we serve. Whether someone is returning from incarceration, overcoming housing insecurity, or seeking to improve their life skills, we offer not just resources — but relationship.

Through partnerships, advocacy, and culturally competent support, we help build stronger neighborhoods by:

  • Providing case management that connects individuals to housing, employment, education, and wellness services

  • Offering parenting classes, job readiness workshops, and self-care programming that promote long-term stability

  • Hosting community outreach events that foster connection, belonging, and civic engagement

  • Engaging with local schools, churches, businesses, and justice systems to build a network of care

We understand that true community development isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about creating environments where people can grow, contribute, and thrive. That’s why we work at both the personal and neighborhood level, investing in lives while advocating for systemic change.

Empowering You 2 Move is more than a service provider — we are a movement of transformation. Together with our community partners, volunteers, and supporters, we are building a foundation for lasting impact.
