We look forward to continuing our food justice journey together: solving problems communally and collaborating to facilitate better access to healthy food everywhere.

Sharing a HUGE thank you to our panelists, facilitator, and discussion drivers!

Today, we express our gratitude to our Communitas Ventures (CV) entrepreneurs, our organizational partners, and the communities that buoy all of our work.

Each CV cohort intentionally, positively impacts local economies, local wellbeing, local joy, and local possibilities. These entrepreneurs, in chasing their dreams, create them in their wake. Their crucial work could not be accomplished without responsive partnership and generous community.

Today, we invite you to experience the current CV cohort in action. We hope you'll join us for Communitas Ventures Cohort 11’s Demo Day on Thursday, December 14 at CUNY Advanced Science Research Center. Get more details at the link: https://lu.ma/u33stzo3

We believe that community is a powerful catalyst for change and are especially enthusiastic about our partner workshops: they powerfully connect local changemakers with resources in New York City’s social impact ecosystem. Most recently, we partnered with a fellow Siegel Family Endowment Grantee — Cornell Tech’s Public Interest Tech initiative (PiTech).

In early-November, we hosted a “speed dating” event that matched Communitas Ventures alumni and Cohort 11 founders with graduate students from Cornell Tech (who are working at the intersection of public interest and technology). Heyground Harlem was filled with learning, laughter, and lots of strategic advice.

We plan to fill our 2024 calendar with similar entrepreneur-focused workshops and partner events. This special programming will be open to Heyground Harlem members, current Communitas Ventures cohorts (and alumni), and guests.

Watch this space early in the new year, for updates!
