Where Families Rise and Youth Lead


At Community Action NOW!, we believe that strong families and bold youth build unstoppable communities. Village Power is our united approach to healing, growing, and thriving—together. From hands-on tech training to trauma recovery, we create safe, enriching spaces for families and youth to learn, lead, and live fully.


👊🏽 Youth Empowerment

Young people are not just the future—they’re the now. Our programs equip them with the tools, skills, and confidence to lead.


📊 NewRock Summer STEM & STEAM in Action
Youth ages 14–18 earn Google Data Analytics certification, conduct real-world community surveys, and explore tech, design, and digital careers.


🎤 Youth Voice & Leadership Circles
Whether through performance, storytelling, or policy discussions, youth gain the platform and power to make a difference.


🏡 Family Strength, Joy & Access

Access matters. We believe every child deserves the chance to explore, play, and dream—and every parent deserves the resources to say “yes” to those experiences.

Too many families miss out on enrichment opportunities due to cost or access. We break down those barriers through generous partnerships that bring joy, inspiration, and learning right to our community.


  • 🚲 Free Bikes for Kids: Helping children ride with pride and freedom.
  • 🎁 Annual Toy Drive: Supporting over 150 children with holiday gifts that affirm joy and dignity.
  • 🎟️ MoST Valuable Kids (MVK): Providing free access to theater, concerts, and cultural events—experiences that expand imaginations and create family memories.


Because play is learning. Because exposure creates possibility. Because every child deserves a front-row seat to discovery—and every caregiver deserves the tools to guide them there.


🔁 Generational Healing & Leadership

We lift the whole village—together.


From Leadership NOW! training to trauma-informed family healing circles, our work empowers caregivers and youth alike to heal, advocate, and thrive.


✅ Plug Into the Power

Whether you’re a parent, teen, mentor, or neighbor—there’s a role for you. Join a program, volunteer, or become a monthly supporter. Because when the village has power, everyone rises.
