Sacramento ACT Meadowview Partnership

The Community
Located in the south area of Sacramento, Meadowview is an ethnically diverse community with a mixture of low- and moderate-income residents. Bordered by Interstate 5, Franklin Boulevard, Florin Road and the neighborhoods south of Meadowview Road, it has a population of more than 37,000. Students at the six schools represent many ethnic backgrounds, including African-American, Caucasian, Chinese, Hmong, Lao, Latino, Mien and Tongan.

The Coalition
The Meadowview Partnership is a grassroots, community-led endeavor. Using community organizing, we are creating leadership opportunities and making long-term, meaningful change for Meadowview youth.

We are comprised of an exciting variety of community stakeholders that actively support youth development principles. Our partnership consists of schools, congregations, community groups, neighborhood groups, after-school programming and local government.

The goal of the Sacramento ACT Meadowview Partnership is to UNLOCK THE POWER OF YOUTH in Meadowview.

We strive to guide young people into adulthood with a broad set of tools and opportunities. By involving Meadowview youth in a process of community organizing and leadership development, we believe they will learn important leadership skills, develop a lifelong commitment to community involvement and activism, and take greater ownership of their community and their own lives.

Through youth and adult organizing, we also seek to have a long-term impact on how major youth-serving institutions ― particularly schools, congregations and city government ― help prepare youth for lifelong success.
