Community Engagement
Community engagement is the heartbeat of a thriving Jacksonville. The initiative seeks to build public trust through empowering residents to take an active role in shaping a safer, stronger future for our youth. When families, local leaders, organizations, and neighbors come together, they create supportive networks that uplift young people, amplify their voices, and connect them to vital opportunities. Through mentorship, civic involvement, and shared responsibility, community engagement fosters pride, resilience, and hope—ensuring Jacksonville’s next generation grows up in a city that believes in them and invests in their success.
