Organized for the purpose of identifying, mentoring and developing leaders through the member institutions to research and find local solutions to six problem areas: Affordable Housing, Community Safety, Economic Development, Healthcare, Immigration and Education.

Programs

3 programs

Starting in late August we had a leaders retreat where we launched a series of training on organizing from house meetings to how to lead a meeting or how to have a conversation based on interests. This has been a mix of 3-part series and single training across two counties and engaged about 200 people.

Housing community meetings, January 2025-May 2025, 125 participants: COPA has been actively working in housing. In Santa Cruz County COPA leaders held a public conversation of community members with city officials about local housing efforts. Later, COPA co-led a housing conversation in Monterey with community members and clergy to teach about the potential development of housing in church properties.
