Los Vecinos de Buford Highway

Los Vecinos de Buford Highway Creamos oportunidades de liderazgo estableciendo 1 o 2 "capitanes por apartamento" a los apartamentos locales. Los Vecinos ayudan a aumentar sus voces.

A partir de 2017, nos esforzamos por cerrar la brecha entre los residentes del área de Buford Highway manteniéndonos comprometidos con nuestros principios de ser un buen vecino, honrar a las personas, compartir unos con otros y comer juntos. Somos una asociacion que fomenta y cultiva el desarrollo de nuestra comunidad, amplifica las voces de nuestras familias e inmigrantes y crea futuros líderes c

on el fin de preservar las características distintivas de Buford Highway. Nosotros cultivamos comunidad, compartiendo cenas juntos en los complejos habitacionales locales, ayudamos a establecer comunicación) entre los residentes e individuos de los complejos habitacionales, 2) entre diferentes complejos habitaciones a lo largo de Buford Highway. Desde que la brecha existe entre residentes de los apartamentos y los proveedores locales, escuelas, organizaciones sin fines de lucro, y entidades gubernamentales, servimos como conducto de informacion y capital social. Estos capitanes , son responsables de discernir (comprender) la informacion que llega a la comunidad y surge de la comunidad. Los capitanes de los apartamentos trabajan de cerca con otros lideres comunales para dirigir desde adentro, entrenar y apoyar. Reconocemos que nuestra comunidad tiene una voz muy importante que usualmente no es escuchada. Creando espacios para que los residentes se reunan, y comiencen a trabajar en conjunto para amplificar sus voces y ampliar la comunidad, creando soluciones basadas en los residentes. Hacemos esto con una reunion trimestral de todos los complejos habitacionales y comprometiendo las redes sociales locales, lideres comunales, entidades gubernamentales , y oficiales escolares.

Los Vecinos de Buford Hwy: We are a community organization that cultivates community, magnifies its voices, and grows future leaders in order to preserve the diversity and character of the Buford Highway neighborhood. We cultivate community by sharing dinner together in local apartment complexes and by helping to establish communication 1) between residents at individual apartment complexes and 2) between different apartment complexes along Buford Highway. Since a gap exists between residents of apartments and the local service providers, schools, nonprofits, and government entities, we serve as a conduit of information and social capital. We create leadership opportunities by establishing one or two residents as "apartment captains" at local apartments. These apartment captains are responsible for disseminating information coming into the community and arising from the community. Apartment captains work closely with other community leaders to gain leadership insights, training, and support. We recognize that our community has an important voice that is oftentimes unheard. Los Vecinos helps to magnify those voices. By creating a space for residents to gather, our neighbors begin to work together to amplify their voices to the broader community and to create resident-based solutions. We do this by hosting quarterly gatherings of all apartment complexes and by engaging the local media, community leaders, government entities, and school officials. We are helping to connect our community with resources, schools, and other apartment complexes along Buford Highway. If you would like to get involved, let us know! We are (and always will be) community-led and community-focused.
