Shaping Tomorrow
Welcome to Community Hub de Santa Ana
We honor the people, achievements, lessons, and challenges of the Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities initiative over the past decade. We invite you to join us in the next phase of this journey. As we move forward, we remain committed to working together, prioritizing people, and advocating for positive change, the foundation of our past efforts.
At Community Hub de Santa Ana, we believe in a new approach to community change that places residents at the forefront and prioritizes their well-being above all else. Traditional methods of community organizing often overlook individuals, exploit their challenges, and prioritize organizational goals over community needs. We’ve learned from 10 years of the Building Healthy Communities initiative and, most importantly, from Santa Ana residents and propose a new way of organizing our communities.
Principles in practice
Building Capacity and Community Together
Our nine Transformative Principles guide our work: Community-Driven, Community Well-Being, Meeting Immediate Needs, Systems Change at the Root, Intentional Trainings, Conscious Communication, Conflict Resolution, Intersectional Structures, and Arts and Culture. We build resilient communities through collaborative efforts with these principles as our foundation.
Community Hub de Santa Ana serves as a space for capacity building, innovation, and leadership development, fostering a culture of inclusivity and relationships. Together, we’re reshaping the organizing landscape, ensuring long-term, meaningful change for all communities.
