Woodlawn Collective is a partnership of people in the community of Woodlawn, Bronx. Our mission is to provide an inclusive space and amplify the voices of all residents, including those who are marginalized in our community.
Vision
We envision an inclusive and diverse neighborhood where all Woodlawn residents and members of the surrounding Bronx communities members are welcomed.
Values
We believe every resident in a community should have a voice, regardless of, but not limited to, age, citizenship status, employment, ethnicity, gender identity, property ownership, race, or sexual identity.
We believe participation in your community should not be tied to membership fees or a specific political affiliation.
