Clackamas County is reaching out to its citizens with an invitation to join the Sunrise Community Coalition in an effort to shape the future of the Sunrise Corridor. The Coalition is seeking the involvement of residents, workers, business owners, and community leaders to collaborate on making the area safer, healthier, and more interconnected. According to an announcement on the county's official website, participants will "have the opportunity to work alongside neighbors and leaders, share your vision for the future, and contribute to projects and events that leave a lasting mark on the community."
The Coalition emphasizes that this is more than just another group. It represents a collective endeavor seeking to "transform big ideas into real change." For those looking to deeply engage, there's an open call for new members to join the Coalition’s Leadership Group, which is instrumental in guiding community initiatives. Meetings for the Leadership Group are scheduled monthly and conducted mainly online. In a statement made by Clackamas County, the site details that these gatherings are an opportunity "to help guide its work and lead community efforts."
Community engagement is at the forefront of the Coalition's mission. It's described as an opportunity to be part of something greater than oneself, providing a chance for individuals to "give back in meaningful ways." Interested parties are encouraged to sign up by filling out an online interest form, expressing their desired level of participation. "Together, we can build the future we imagine—right here in the Sunrise Corridor, where community and connection meet," as stated by Clackamas County.
