MID-CITY COMMUNITY ADVOCACY NETWORK
Mid-City CAN is a community-driven organization focused on improving transportation, empowering youth leaders, advocating for juvenile justice, providing health resources, and building community power.
Our mission is to create a safe, productive, and healthy community through collaboration, advocacy, and organizing.
Our non-profit organization was founded on community-driven power when community members and nonprofit professionals came together to address the challenges of crime, food insecurity, and more, in City Heights. Originally known as Mid-City for Youth, Mid-City CAN organized Momentum Teams — community action groups — dedicated to improving the neighborhood.
Today, we mobilize volunteers to address the issues that matter most to our community. Learn more.
