Long Beach Community Members Strive for Better Economic Conditions

Residents of Central, West, and North Long Beach face real structural barriers to resources and opportunities that can help them live healthy and productive lives. To overcome these challenges, youth and adult residents are empowering others to organize their communities for positive, sustainable change.

The Power of Stories is an archive of projects submitted every year to Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Statewide Convening. It showcases work created throughout California highlighting the power of individual and collective efforts to promote health and demonstrates how stories have the power to re-imagine and transform our communities. Produced in partnership with the California Endowment.
