Bowdoin Geneva
VIP Coalitions seek to empower, inform, and strengthen their neighborhoods.
Bowdoin Street Health Center and Saint Peter’s Teen Center are leading the VIP initiative in the Bowdoin Geneva neighborhood. While Bowdoin Street Health Center is the lead agency, the Saint Peter’s Teen Center is focusing their work on youth outreach. This growing coalition has taken community and resident engagement to a new level. The Bowdoin Geneva coalition unites its residents to create a healthy, peaceful, and safe communal atmosphere. It focuses on resident engagement and collaboration with city and community-based businesses and agencies in the area.
About
VIP neighborhood coalitions are a forum. Residents, community members, and city staff address safety concerns in their community.
Each coalition develops a violence prevention plan that describes:
- the nature and extent of violence in the community
- strengths and challenges of their community
- identifies goals and activities aimed at promoting peace and reducing violence
