Community Partnerships

LEAPS Alliance San Diego

In the spirit of holistic collaboration, this past year marked our active involvement as a Collaborative Action Group member in the creation of the LEAPS Playbook led by The Kim Center for Social Balance. This groundbreaking initiative, spearheaded by The Kim Center, aims to enhance workplace equity in San Diego through LEAPS, the nation’s pioneering data-driven collaborative. At the forefront of systemic change, the LEAPS Alliance San Diego leaders have united our community, establishing common metrics and objectives that are transforming our region into a replicable model of success for the entire nation. The regional LEAPS initiative in San Diego is not only fostering systemic change at the company level but is also empowering companies with assessment data and Playbook progress. This data serves to legitimize company benchmarks to employees, shareholders, and customers, evolve employee value propositions with industry-specific insights, and fuel symbiotic conversations with policymakers about compliance. Through these collaborative partnerships, we are actively contributing to the reshaping of workplace dynamics, advancing equity, and creating a blueprint for success that extends beyond our local community.

CERF SOUTHERN BORDER COALITION

SBCS along with seven other organizations in the counties of San Diego and Imperial Valley are working together as part of the CERF Southern Border Coalition. These eight nonprofit organizations have formed this Coalition to facilitate the formation of a regional economic development plan that empowers, uplifts, and facilitates community ownership in decision-making for the region and, especially, disinvested communities by fostering equity and creating sustainable opportunities for growth. Through this effort, the Coalition aims to elevate the voice of 15 sectors in the creation of this regional economic development plan that will guide future investments in our communities.

The 15 sectors include:

  1. Labor organizations
  2. Employers, businesses, and business associations
  3. Grassroot and community-based organizations, community organizers, and community members
  4. Government agencies
  5. Economic development agencies
  6. Philanthropic organizations
  7. Education and training providers
  8. Workforce entities
  9. Environmental justice organizations
  10. Worker centers
  11. Disinvested communities
  12. Native American Tribes
  13. Youth
  14. LGBTQIA
  15. Farmworkers

The Southern Border Coalition is working together to launch a series of informational sessions tailored to each of the 15 sectors to inform members of these sectors about the CERF project, and to extend an invitation for you to join.
