At its heart, Joshua Community Connectors is more than just a service provider; it is a community builder. 0 0 371112 0 407120 This organization emerged from a profound need, a response to the cries of a community grappling with adversity. It was born from the vision of individuals who witnessed firsthand the pain and the potential within the Russell neighborhood, a historically African American community that has endured systemic challenges. The Joshua Community Connectors focus their efforts on young adults, a demographic often caught in the crossfire of these intersecting issues. They understand that these challenges are interconnected; that untreated mental health issues can exacerbate the risk of violence, that racial injustice creates barriers to opportunity and fuels despair. The Connectors. The core of the organization is its team of "Connectors." These are not just case managers or social workers; they are trusted allies, mentors, and advocates. Many of them have lived experiences that mirror those of the individuals they serve, giving them a unique ability to build rapport and understanding. Here's how they work. Meeting People Where They Are. The Connectors go into the community, building relationships with young adults, listening to their stories, and identifying their needs. They work in community centers, on the streets, and even within the justice system. Breaking Down Barriers: They help individuals navigate the complex systems that can often be obstacles rather than pathways to support. This includes finding stable housing, securing employment, accessing mental health services, and pursuing educational opportunities. Healing the Trauma: Recognizing the deep trauma that many in the community carry, the Connectors facilitate access to culturally competent mental health care. They understand that healing from trauma is essential to breaking cycles of violence and despair. Empowering Voices. The Connectors empower young adults to become agents of change in their own lives and in their community. They provide leadership development, conflict resolution skills, and opportunities for civic engagement. Building Bridges. They foster dialogue and understanding across racial divides, working to dismantle the systems of injustice that perpetuate inequality. 0 0 0 371112 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 KY X Tim Densler 5024155696 9365 Barrier Coast Trl Parrish FL 34219 Kimberly Moore Executive Director 40 X X 93800 0 6000 93800 0 6000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 172545 234575 0 407120 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 407120 0 0 0 157851 157851 99800 95110 4690 72238 41748 30490 15503 12803 2700 16618 16618 34875 34875 4477 3522 955 1653 1653 4740 4740 13588 13588 25027 21300 3727 Office Supplies 1955 0 1955 0 Professional development & training 4350 0 4350 0 Fund raising events 7419 6919 500 Bank Charges 461 0 461 0 460555 371112 54568 34875 125521 75696 125521 75696 3610 0 3610 X 125521 72086 0 0 125521 72086 125521 75696 -53435 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 170442 261164 351555 407120 1190281 0 170442 261164 351555 407120 1190281 1190281 0 170442 261164 351555 407120 1190281 1 1 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X 0 All States 1 Assist with home stabilization by providing rental assistance; mental health assistance and job search assistance. 100 157000 0 None None Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Joshua Community Connectors is committed to ensuring that grant funds received for projects within the United States are used effectively and in accordance with terms and conditions of the grant agreements.
