EPN & Paxinosa School to launch West Ward Collective Impact Team
Earlier this year EPN released the results of its 2015 Neighborhood Survey of West Ward residents in Easton. That report acted as a springboard for its nonprofit community partners to work together on addressing the many issues that families living in that community (Census tract 142) are dealing with.
Paxinosa Elementary School Community School Director Ashley Sciora met with EPN Manager Ammar Sharif to begin the conversation on how to help solve those issues. Now a new initiative called the West Ward Collective Impact Team is being formed.
