At the West Hub, community members can access peer mentors and violence prevention/mediation support; receive information and referrals for community resources such as education, employment, health care, and legal aid; and attend life skills classes, community healing groups, arts/culture events, pop up COVID testing, and more.

We are doing the work to increase engagement in the Black community by providing health resources, advocacy and education.
