Stop by and take home a variety of fruit trees, including apricot, plum, fig, apple, and pomegranate, along with ornamental trees, seedlings, and seeds ready for planting.

Before changes show up on the street, they start here.

Walking together. Listening. Noticing.

Through community walk audits along Central Avenue, neighbors, partners, and community members come together to share their experiences—what feels safe, what doesn’t, and what needs to change.

This work is sustained by people showing up, shared knowledge, and partnerships that turn community voice into action.

Now, we’re taking the next step.

Join Together for Brothers as they review the data collected from the walk audit and pair it with photos that help bring the story to life.

📅 April 25
🕚 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
📍 T4B Office & Zoom

This is how community voice continues to shape real outcomes.

💚Youth Shape Safer Streets 🚲

Safer streets are built with community, and youth are part of that work

When young people are included, supported, and able to move through their neighborhoods, it creates safer, more connected spaces for everyone.

This is part of how community leadership helps sustain healthier environments over time
