Community Planning
California Walks works to actively connect to and engage communities as leaders of change who drive decision-making processes in genuine ways that are based on their own expertise. We see and treat local communities as legitimate experts in their own lived experiences and operate a number of programs to help them leverage these experience to direct community-based planning processes.
Comunidades Activas y Seguras (Safe and Active Communities)
Comunidades Activas y Seguras (Safe and Active Communities) is a joint program of UC Berkeley SafeTREC and California Walks (Cal Walks). The program includes a walking and biking safety curriculum tailored to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking communities. Comunidades Activas y Seguras will take a community-centered and culturally/linguistically sensitive approach to identify and address walking and biking safety concerns for Spanish speaking communities all across California.
Stanislaus County Community Champions Program
The Stanislaus County Health Services Agency, along with California Walks is hosting a paid training opportunity with up to 25 community members to complete a training program to build capacity and improve the walking and biking environment in and around the City of Modesto.
