Description: PartnerCafe is a consortium of city, state and federal agency decision-makers, including non-profit and faith-based organizations. We invite the community, the recipients of policies decided without their input, to share their experiences so we can change for the better. The vacuum we all work so hard to fill is the group’s recognition that we are interdependent. Each sector and each individual have an equal seat at the table. We work to improve social issues, develop “safe” places where voices make a difference, find common ground, and courageously make changes in how we view disparities in order to collectively “transform the lives of vulnerable populations.” We consist of “subject matter experts,” leaders and policy-makers in our respective fields. But we are also mothers, fathers, and disabled youth / adults, activists, and community members who made a decision to be led by and learn from the most vulnerable among us. That is who we are. Engage, inform then act, is what we do.
