Better Together

Partnerships are wonderful for all sorts of reasons. Strengthening alliances with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, businesses – it is fundamental support. Knowing that others share your passion, being able to share tasks, giving and receiving commitment, having others to call on, standing tall with colleagues at your side, looking proudly together on an accomplishment - these are just some of the inherent perks of partnership.

Well let me just list some of the amazing alliances we’ve been fortunate to build in the planning process for Culture Builds Community!

• Dayton Public Schools’ Neighborhood School Centers
• The Fitz Center, University of Dayton
• Art Street, University of Dayton
• The Women’s Center, University of Dayton
• East End Community Services 
• Unified Health Solutions
• YMCA
• McClendon Institute
• Stivers School for the Arts
• Turkish Cultural Center(s)
• Central State University
• Omega Baptist Church
• Hispanic Catholic Ministries
• Sinclair Community College
• Muse Machine
• Dayton Masonic Center

…and these are organizational partners. You can imagine the numbers of people involved! This is before we add the young participants up to 25 per school/neighborhood), who, of course, are partners as well. This is CBC’s fundamental support system, ever growing, and reminding us through each day of the process that we are, indeed, BETTER TOGETHER!
