For over 20 years, Nexus Community Partners has built engaged and powerful communities of color so that each and every person can flourish in a joyful and abundant life. For this to be possible, we must usher out the rigged rules, attitudes, and practices that concentrate wealth and power in fewer and whiter hands, and usher in ways of living, working, and making decisions together that nourish communities for this generation and generations to come.
Nexus’s programs nurture those relationships and the community resilience we need to weather the volatility and uncertainty we are facing. Each Nexus program is a distinct, yet interconnected, piece of our organizational strategy–we support people and communities to build wealth, deepen their leadership, and tend to their own well-being and the well-being of those around them. Together, they help us return to restorative and nourishing ways of living, owning, and leading:
