Our Work
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has.”
– Margaret Mead
The Pontiac Collective Impact Partnership brings people together to work collaboratively in defining community problems and creating a shared vision to solve them.
Through our work with community residents, partners, organizations, and institutions, we integrate our actions to achieve common goals and enact systemic change.
We encourage continuous communication by building trust and strengthening relationships with community members.
