We are excited to share that the CCTST Community Engagement Core (CEC) is being honored by local non-profit, People Working Cooperatively (PWC), with the “Friends of PWC Award”!

This award is given each year to a person or organization that has been a particularly important partner to PWC by helping us further our mission. The award ceremony will be held on October 21, 2021.

Aaron Grant, Senior Project Manager at PWC, shares, “Since my first week as a CLI participant in 2017, [the CCTST] has helped us by providing training, grant opportunities, technical support and perhaps most importantly, expanded our network into health care and academic groups, which have led to further research and program partnerships with Children’s Hospital, UC Health, the VA, the UC College of Medicine, and others. We have also learned a tremendous amount by serving on the CEC advisory boards. In fact, much of the innovative health-focused work we’re doing with our housing programs would not have been possible without the support, resources and connections that have come through our relationship with the CCTST.”

Congratulations to Lori Crosby, Monica Mitchell, Stacey Gomes, Kendal Lindsey, and the rest of our CEC team, for this honor.
