Closing the Gaps in Digital Literacy

Closing the Gaps in Digital Literacy

During the pandemic, ENP Health + Wellness conducted a community needs assessment. We learned that community members had a lot of stress due to the transition of school and doctor’s appointments going virtual.

To help eliminate the stress, in 2020 ENP launched a Digital Literacy for adults in English and Spanish. This class teaches community members basic computer skills such as; Typing, Zoom and Microsoft Team, Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Google Translation, Youtube, email, and etiquette of electronic correspondence and messages.

The outcome of this class has been outstanding! Community members are able to attend zoom meetings/classes and are now able to help their children/grandchildren with their school work. We re-launched this class on March 1st and had 22 Spanish-speaking community members attend. We look forward to seeing these participants take control of their digital footprint and learn more about how they can engage online.

A Pilgrimage South: A Up Close Reckoning with Our Nations History

A Pilgrimage South: A Up Close Reckoning with Our Nations History

“There is no such thing as a painless repentance. “

Professor Ronald Potter

In February, I took a week long trip down to the South; Jackson, Mississippi specifically, to listen and learn and process with the John and Vera Mae Perkins Foundation, JVMPF. Today, JVMPF is run and operated by 3 of John Perkins children, who continue to carry the torch for their beloved activist father. If you are not familiar with who John Perkins is, he is long time civil rights activist and theologian, who for years has carried the torch of racial reconciliation and love go hand in hand. As he nears the end of his life at 93, his family runs trips for people like you and me to engage in a part of our nation’s history we would rather soon forget.

One Neighborhood at a Time with City Advance

“The gifts and the abilities are already there in the neighborhood. We know the next generation of leaders are there. So we start with blessing and we know that the Spirit moves.” – Andrew Feil

Andrew Feil and Artie Padilla speak at City Advance’s last virtual gathering

Every Neighborhood Partnership’s Executive Director Andrew Feil and Central Valley Community Foundation’s Director of DRIVE Initiative Artie Padilla shared with City Advance about the progressive and transformational work that ENP does in local schools, civic engagement, and residential neighborhoods with our volunteers and church partners.

Andrew and Artie explained how ENP has positioned itself as unique teachers, as its staff train churches and community partners to expand the vision and knowledge of transforming Fresno one neighborhood at a time. ENP does this in classroom settings, and also creatively through our Drive Tour.

This meeting was LOADED with resources and some incredible ideas for other organizations trying to reach their neighbors. City Advance has broken segments of the video into “chapters” so you can jump into the video at any point.

Reimagining Community Land Use in Fresno

Reimagining Community Land Use in Fresno

Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP) and its local partners are launching a community driven land use educational initiative, Fresno Community Land Use Academy (CLUA). Fresno CLUA aims to expand access and facilitate more inclusive engagement in Fresno’s land use and urban planning processes so that land development decisions benefit all Fresnans, especially those local residents who live in neighborhoods where land use decisions have caused environmental injustices. Housing, health and economic disparities are often based on location, race and income. 

The attached article from the Urban Institute lays out the benefits and impacts to implement a Community Land Use Planning Academy, like Fresno CLUA. To learn more about the framework of Community Land Use Academies, read this article

Reimagining Community Planning Academies: A Framework for Transformative Community Land-Use Education By Joe Schilling, Emily Bramhall, and Ananya Hariharan

Thanks to a grant from the Kresge Foundation and with technical support from the Urban Institute, ENP will spend the next year launching this new city-wide initiative. We are looking forward to witnessing the ways this will positively impact the environments of so many Fresno residents.

Stay tuned for more updates from Fresno CLUA!
