EnCorps
We challenge current educational inequalities by connecting schools in low-income communities with high-quality STEM educators to eliminate the systemic injustice preventing children of color from entering the future STEM workforce. By recruiting, training, and supporting diverse and committed STEM professionals to volunteer and teach in communities most impacted by oppressive systems, we are able to provide opportunities and access to quality STEM education. We will continue to create learning opportunities that challenge assumptions and push our team to transform practices that better serve students in the communities we serve.

Waterloo Urban Farmers Market
is the urban destination for sustainably sourced products and produce that supports, educates, and fosters community involvement. Our market serves a broad cross-section of the Cedar Valley's population, reflective of the diverse makeup of our community. Crowds visiting our Saturday morning market are more diverse than nearly any other event held in the Cedar Valley. We strive to create a vibrant marketplace dedicated to championing and supporting local producers and businesses by providing a community resource for sustainably sourced food and products.

Cedar Valley Trails
Advocates for the expansion, maintenance and safe use of the trails through grassroots communication with local, state and federal officials. The organization is represented at monthly Metropolitan Planning Organization meetings and members are occasionally contacted to help articulate a message when appropriate.

The Hearst 
The Hearst Center exists to fulfill our human need to connect, create and express. Vision Statement: The Hearst Center continues to positively impact the quality of life in Cedar Falls by creating a welcoming environment to experience the arts both intentionally and casually. The Hearst is a place visitors feel they belong, a place for free expression of ideas, engaging discussion, recreation, relaxation and stimulation.
