Who are the Community Connectors?
Community Connectors are integral to the Tucson Norte-Sur Phase II community engagement efforts to help ensure community voices are centered in guiding the policy plan. Community Connectors have deep ties to their various communities and neighborhoods across the study area. They have been recruited based on their breadth of knowledge, community involvement, and valuable perspectives to carry out various on-the-ground engagement activities. The group is representative and reflective of this corridor.
Community Connectors meet the community where they are. Instead of asking people to attend public meetings, the Connectors go to them and engage community members in conversations about the Tucson Norte-Sur Plan. They host diverse community dialogues with small groups of residents at times and places that are convenient for them. They meet community members at places they congregate, such as transit centers, grocery stores, parks, libraries, or neighborhood events. They also bring their talents and creative connections to this project, whether getting people to fill out surveys while they wait for their food at a food truck or hopping on a bus and engaging the riders about the plan.
These engagement activities focus on hearing from the people who live, work, travel, and have a history in the study area to ensure that the Tucson Norte-Sur Strategic Plan reflects their vision and priorities.
Community Connectors will complete a training series, including background information on Tucson Norte-Sur. They are working closely with the Norte-Sur ETOD Community Engagement Specialists Team leading and supporting the Community Connectors in their outreach and engagement efforts.
Community Connectors are crucial in making public engagement more approachable, inclusive, and accessible. Through community dialogues, pop-ups, and other creative outreach/engagement activities, they will gather community members' thoughts, ideas, and concerns and share them with the rest of the project team to guide the Tucson Norte-Sur Strategic Plan. The first phase of their engagement work will wrap up at the end of September 2023.
