| At its core, Community Shares agencies address the root causes of problems by involving those affected – finding solutions that work – to create a long-lasting foundation for a just and peaceful community. The common thread
is a commitment to personal responsibility and community action to achieve social justice.
Our agencies address a range of issues including: crime and drug abuse,
racism, sexism, homophobia, unemployment, the environment, urban violence,
homelessness, civil liberties, housing, voter education, child abuse,
needs of the elderly and the education of our children.
