Urban Strategies

Urban Strategies We exist to equip, resource, and connect faith- and community-based organizations so that all children and families can reach their full potential.

Core Values of Urban Strategies

-Authentic Relationships: Foundational to our work, authentic relationships move beyond a transactional nature to truly know people. They serve as opportunities for mutual development and growth and are based on the belief that all people have inherent dignity and worth.

-Servant Leadership: Servant Leadership is rooted in an other-centric mindset that informs t

he way one leads and builds up individuals, families, and communities.

-Intentional Compassion: A deliberate commitment to understand, formulate strategic responses, and activate others to reach their full potential. We pursue our vision and mission through our approach, which is composed of three key components – working with trusted faith- and community-based organizations and focusing on the Latino community to engage/come alongside the whole family.

Behind every upgraded space is a purpose.
Cleaner floors, brighter rooms, and dedicated spaces all work together to create environments where children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. That’s the power of intentional design in Early Head Start.

To every mother and every maternal figure, thank you.
At Urban Strategies, we have the privilege of walking beside you each day, supporting your efforts with tools and resources, and witnessing the strength and love you pour into the children in your lives.
Motherhood takes many forms: in biological moms, in abuelas, in tías, in mentors, in neighbors, and in the women across our organization who step in with compassion, guidance, and stability when families need it most. And while motherhood may look different for everyone, its impact is undeniable.
We believe strong families are the foundation of a child’s success, and you help build that foundation with every act of care. Your presence shapes futures, strengthens communities, and allows families to thrive.

This month we are celebrating

We’re reminded that strong, healthy families don’t just happen, they’re built with intention, support, and care.

Whether you’re grabbing paletas with your primas or enjoying a lively domino game night, these everyday moments of connection help build the bonds that matter most.

Because when families thrive, children are given the foundation to succeed in every part of life.

This , we’re celebrating Nurana Rzayeva!
From Floater Teacher to Infant & Toddler Teacher, Nurana’s journey is a beautiful example of growth, mentorship, and dedication; supported along the way with professional development (including a CDA funded by the program).
Through thoughtful collaboration with families, she creates tailored nutrition plans that transform stressful mealtimes into moments of growth. Many families see improved behavior in their child and a growing willingness to try new foods in just one week. We’re deeply grateful for the impact Nurana brings to families every day.

Last week in Puerto Rico, our team gathered for a despedida that blossomed into its own garden of gratitude—testimonies of impact offered to Dr. Lorena Garza Gonzalez, our Reina de las flores, through moments that reminded us why proximity matters. Even minimal moments of closeness carry weight when they come from someone who leads with such intention.

Throughout her time with Team US, Dr. Lorena has planted seeds across the island—encouraging staff, nurturing confidence, and modeling what servant leadership looks like in practice. She has shown us that leadership rooted in compassion creates resilience, and that joy is not a distraction from the work, but a source of strength within it.

The celebration was filled with music, abrazos, and reflections that spoke to the depth of her influence. And in her own words:
“Thank you team, mil gracias compañeros, for a two-day celebration filled with love, music, dance, heartfelt words, and of course, incredible food. You made me feel deeply loved and cared for. I receive it fully and return it to each and every one of you! Bendito.Los quiero… viven en mi corazón y no pagan renta.”

As her despedida y bendiciones journey continues, we carry forward the lessons she’s sown—serving with humility, leading with corazón, and blooming with resilience wherever we stand.

This weekend, we recognized Children’s Craft Day, a great reminder that our culture is rich with color, tradition, and creativity, and it all begins with children!

The young creators in our community show us every day that imagination has no limits. When we nurture creativity, we nurture future leaders. 💛
