This session will discuss the key community-centered capacity building activities, impacts, learnings and contributions to community power building and systems and policy change outcomes and progress. For Communities of Opportunity (COO), the investments into the individuals, organizations and partnerships that serve our communities for greater effectiveness, creativity, and longevity, are critical for building a pathway to a future where all communities in King County thrive. We define capacity building as supporting leadership development, organizational and partnership infrastructure, and sustained civic capacity to actualize equity in policy after policy, issue after issue, year after year. In this session we will describe creating learning spaces not just to transfer knowledge, information and skills but the ability to build confidence, resilience and power within individuals and communities that face systemic injustice. Our presentation will share the key learnings from our partners and the successes and challenges of our journey so far -- and how our approaches may be transferable to other collaborative efforts interested in transformative ways to build equity.
