Bajuyo DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260423 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260424 DTSTAMP:20260730T122056Z UID:8906-1776902400-1811894399@www.daummuseum.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:During the week of April 20-23\, visiting artist Leticia R. Ba juyo will be installing a large\, floating art piece in the halls of the S tauffacher building. Through her large-scale works\, Leticia Bajuyo engage s audiences and connects with communities through her site-specific instal lations that involve community collections of media and memories. By incor porating recognizable materials and forms including CDs\, artificial grass \, and insulation styrofoam\, Bajuyo creates spaces and multi-layered expe riences that invite audiences to participate in theatrical re-arbitrations of value. \nLeticia R. Bajuyo is an interdisciplinary artist whose public commissions\, immersive installations\, and delicate visual poems transfo rm collected audio media\, cast metal\, and synthetic remnants into carefu lly crafted objects that examine how identity\, value\, and desire are con structed and reshaped overtime. Her interest in unpacking value perception s find their roots in her autobiography growing up bi-racial in a small\, rural town named Metropolis on the border of Illinois and Kentucky. The ti me and space of quiet landscapes outside and the multi-national dialogues inside her family’s house influenced the development of her critiques of consumer capitalism\, fickle domestic desires\, and internalized pressure s of assimilation. She has participated in national and international resi dency programs including Muscarelle Museum of Art in Williamsburg\, Virgin ia\; Fountainhead Residency in Miami\, Florida\; Sloss Metal Arts in Birmi ngham\, Alabama\, and the From Waste to Art Museum in Baku\, Azerbaijan. I n addition to her individual artwork\, she seeks community by participatin g in artist collectives including Land Report Collective and Project Vorte x and serving on the Mid-South Sculpture Alliance (MSA) board of directors and the National Conference on Contemporary Cast Iron Art and Practices ( NCCCIAP) steering committee. Bajuyo received her B.F.A. from the Universit y of Notre Dame and M.F.A. from the University of Tennessee. She is an Ass ociate Professor of Sculpture at the University of Oklahoma. Prior to Okla homa\, she served as an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University–Corp us Christi\, Visiting Assistant Professor at Notre Dame\, and Professor of Art at Hanover College. In addition\, she has taught summer workshops at Anderson Ranch Arts Center and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts\, and c hairs the Visual Arts panel for YoungArts in Miami\, Florida. \nStudents a nd art enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged to come observe Leticia’s progress while this complicated piece is installed outside of the Goddard Gallery. \nWebsite: www.leticiabajuyo.com \nStudio photo- credit of Jared Ragland.

Our understanding of the visual w orld is shaped by our experiences\, cultural conditioning\, and surroundin g environment. Meaning does not reside solely within an object\; it arises from a participatory\, constructed process. As the author Anaïs Nin remi nds us\, “We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.” \nEye of the Beholder approaches perception from this point of view\, esp ecially as it relates to received notions of femininity. In this exhibitio n\, artworks that depict readable characteristics of the feminine are plac ed in conversation with abstract pieces that only allude to femininity’s essential qualities. The materiality of a Donna Sharrett textile\, the pa lette of a Helen Frankenthaler print\, and the imagery of a Michael Eastma n photograph can each become allegories of femininity. When these works ar e placed in dialogue\, the subsequent comparisons invite us to question wh ether the very suggestion of the feminine alters how we interpret what we see next. \nIn Eye of the Beholder\, the installation\, itself\, becomes p art of this inquiry. In one gallery\, a dense\, salon-style arrangement in vites a layered reading through close spatial relationships. In the other room\, a more traditional presentation offers space and visual separation\ , encouraging each work to stand on its own. Moving between these two envi ronments\, viewers may notice how associations carry over\, linger\, or di ssolve. We are invited to participate in this process\, to question our ow n habits of perception\, and to consider how suggestion and context shape what is seen. \nUltimately\, this exhibition asks us to consider how we co me to recognize and imagine femininity\, not only in what is depicted\, bu t in what is implied. What appears to be “feminine” may not reside in the object at all\, but in the expectations we bring to it. In the end\, t he key to the exhibition is not on the walls\, it is in the eye of the beh older. \nQuestions \n\nWhat three words describe femininity to you?\nWhat artwork in the exhibit speaks to femininity the most in your opinion? Why? \n\nQuote \n“We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are. ” -Anaïs Nin \nThis exhibition was curated by Marcie Teter\, Dr. Meghan McClellan\, and Elena Sofia Raineri. \nAnne Noggle\, "Mary: A Retrospecti ve"\, 1987\; Gelatin silver print\; Gift of Ricci Racela & Michael Bonahan .Anne Noggle\, "Mary: A Retrospective"\, 1987\; Gelatin silver print\; Gif t of Ricci Racela & Michael Bonahan.

Rather than offering escape\, abstraction here operates as a point of collision\, where systems intended to stabilize and contain begin to reveal their own instability. \nAcross the works presented\, a s ense of underlying tension becomes visible. Control and vulnerability coex ist in a state of friction\, producing a persistent and unresolved unease. The exhibition does not seek to resolve these conditions\, but to foregro und them. \nFormal structures such as grids and repeated systems are subje cted to pressure. They loosen\, fragment\, or give way to gesture. Surface s accumulate and thicken\, resisting restraint and asserting material pres ence. In this context\, structures associated with clarity\, protection\, or definition appear increasingly fragile and provisional. \nAbstraction e merges as a charged field in which instinct and control intersect. Systems falter\, and moments of excess or disruption come to the fore. What is re vealed is not collapse\, but a sustained state of instability in which ord er persists without ever fully securing itself. \nUnder Pressure was curat ed by Alex Britton and Garry Holstein. \nJack Tworkov\, "DA on P #4 Q1-73" \, 1978\; Acrylic on paper.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

The Columbia Tribune notes\, “Her songs live in the same world as greats lik e Petty and Dylan\; Gillian and Joni\, and grow up like trees drawing nour ishment from their roots. But she never\, ever sounds like the “typical ” artist who claims these influences\; Bombara to zig where someone else might zag\, making harder or gentler turns\, brushing up against jazz or taking rock toward its fulfillment.” \n\n\n\nBombara spent years on the road in other bands before encouragement from peers led her to start writi ng and performing her own music. “I never set out to be a lead singer\, ” she admits. “I wasn’t comfortable being in the spotlight like that . I struggled with anxiety and talking into a microphone just froze me up. ” Yet the songs were there. So Bombara slowly started performing her own material\, watering the seeds that would grow into her own career. \n\n\ n\nHer most recent album\, It All Goes Up\, spent 7 weeks on the Americana Radio charts\, garnering stellar reviews from fans and critics alike. In addition\, it has received critical acclaim as Americana Album of the Mont h in Uncut Magazine\, BBC radio spins\, and has charted on the Americana M usic Association’s top 40 radio chart. \n\n\n\nLearn more: www.bethbomba ra.com \n\n\n\nFollow her on social media!https://www.facebook.com/bethbom bara/https://www.instagram.com/bethbombara/ \n\n\n\nListen to her music!ht tps://www.youtube.com/bethbombarahttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/7jz8wFf xp77OuS7f7QE6rS LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T122157Z URL:https://cooperslandingmo.com/event2022/beth-bombara-3/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Cooper's Landing\, MO X-SOURCE-URL:https://cooperslandingmo.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Zack Mufasa DTSTART:20260906T210000Z DTEND:20260907T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260801T121252Z UID:10005393-1788710400-1788721200@odowdskc.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Local talented musician Zack Mufasa steals the stage on Sunday s at the Gastrobar!

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two.

Th e 1951 flood in Kansas City’s West Bottoms remains one of the city’s m ost catastrophic natural disasters and a turning point in the history of t he Kansas City Stockyards and the Central Industrial District.\n\nThis pro gram will bring that dramatic story to life\, showing how the 1951 flood s tunned the city\, region\, and nation while fueling urgent debates over fl ood control. Engineers called for stronger levees\, wider riverbanks\, dre dging\, and standardized bridge designs\, but railroads and other industri es resisted large-scale\, long-term protections\, arguing they were too co stly and unnecessary. The resulting conflict led to litigation between the Kaw Valley Drainage District and powerful corporate interests.\n\nDon’t miss this compelling presentation by Dr. Gene T. Chávez\, Historian in R esidence at the Museum of Kansas City. Dr. Chávez will share video interv iews he collected from 1951 flood survivors and explain how city authoriti es on both sides of the Kansas-Missouri state line responded to the disast er and worked to prevent future flooding.\n\n*Pay What You Like means that a fee is required to attend this program\, but the amount you pay is at y our discretion.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well.

As a longtime fiddle player for the Ozark Mountain Daredevils who morphe d into a powerhouse experimental songwriter\, Molly Healey began her solo career in 2015 after buying a simple looping pedal. She immediately found a passion for blending her strings and voice together into atmospheric and experimental orchestral folk songs\, and her first compositions were feat ured on her debut solo album\, Nightbirds. She has since recorded 3 more a lbums\, each growing in intensity and instrumentation\, and the most recen t of which\, Lotus\, was released in 2022. She has grown from the stripped -down looping solo set\, to a roster of original music and choice covers t hat she often performs with a full electric band. She plays a dazzling var iety of instruments: cello\, violin\, guitar\, and piano\, all while exper imenting with various other sounds looping in Ableton Live. \n\n\n\nInflue nced by artists such as Radiohead\, Andrew Bird\, Agnes Obel and more expe rimental cello-driven acts like Zoe Keating and The Avett Brothers\, her m usic is heavily laden with her lush string arrangements\, unconventional u se of the orchestral instruments\, and infectious beats. And all instrumen ts aside\, Molly’s strongest asset might be considered her voice\, as sh e has been singing on various stages since her early childhood years. \n\n \n\nShe has opened for Victor Wooten\, Yonder Mountain String Band\, The O zark Mountain Daredevils\, among many more\, and has played sets at Burnin g Man\, Roots N Blues Festival in Columbia\, ReKinection Festival\, and fo r the Missouri Contemporary Ballet. Her band\, called the Molly Healey Str ing Project\, features the following members: Zach Harrison on electric gu itar\, Kyle Day on bass\, and Danny Carroll on drums. Molly also continues to play violin for The Ozark Mountain Daredevils\, The Lacewings\, and gu ests with such acts as Ha Ha Tonka and many others. She frequently does se ssion work for various bands across the state. Molly is also the co-organi zer of Earth Day: The Festival\, an annual music festival that raises fund s for local environmental organizations. She is in the studio recording ne w music to be released in 2025 and 2026\, including a new project\, ODM\, aka Orchestral Dance Music.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

Tired of oppression under their human owner\, the animals of Manor Farm rise up and take control\, dreaming of a societ y where all animals are equal. But as the pigs assume leadership\, their r evolution slowly gives way to manipulation\, corruption\, and tyranny. Dar kly humorous and increasingly unsettling\, Animal Farm explores power\, pr opaganda\, class\, and the frightening ease with which noble ideals can be twisted by those who seek control. \nOrder Tickets online at etix.com LAST-MODIFIED:20260904T183508Z LOCATION:Civic Center URL:https://westplains.gov/event/wp-playhouse-presents-animal-farm-2/ X-SOURCE-NAME:City of West Plains X-SOURCE-URL:https://westplains.gov/departments/transportation/transit END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Jackie Myers Duo DTSTART:20260916T003000Z DTEND:20260916T033000Z DTSTAMP:20260730T122053Z UID:4cnlranbod9hq74lbdv5mb7p4s@google.com CATEGORIES:music LAST-MODIFIED:20260730T122053Z LOCATION:Eddie V's Prime Seafood\, 700 W 47th St Ste 115\, Kansas City\, M O 64112\, USA X-SOURCE-NAME:FOR WEBSITE X-SOURCE-URL:https://kclive411.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Trace Beats DTSTART:20260916T010000Z DTEND:20260916T040000Z DTSTAMP:20260814T061427Z UID:10004608-1789502400-1789513200@odowdskc.com CATEGORIES:music DESCRIPTION:Live music from Trace Beats and friends every Tuesday at the G astrobar!

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

Across generations\, media\, and artistic perspectives\, the exhibition considers nature not as a static subject\, but as a dynamic network of exchange in which every en counter has the potential to transform what follows. \nThe phenomenon of c ross-pollination offers both a biological process and a curatorial framewo rk. As butterflies\, bees\, birds\, and wind carry pollen between plants\, they sustain biodiversity through movement and connection. Likewise\, the works assembled in this exhibition generate new meaning through proximity . Historical works from the Daum Museum’s collection enter into conversa tion with contemporary practices\, creating moments of resonance that exte nd beyond chronology and reveal the collection as an evolving body of idea s. \nWorking across painting\, photography\, sculpture\, textiles\, and in stallation\, the artists engage recurring themes of growth\, migration\, a daptation\, fragility\, and resilience. Plants and pollinators appear thro ughout the exhibition as enduring symbols of interdependence\, reminding u s that life flourishes through relationships rather than isolation. These ecological systems become a lens through which to consider artistic influe nce\, cultural memory\, and the continual exchange between past and presen t. \nCross-Pollination invites visitors to experience the museum as an eco system where works of art\, like living organisms\, exist within a web of connections that expands with every new encounter. The temporary presence of invited artists does not stand apart from the permanent collection\, bu t activates it\, allowing ideas to circulate across time and media. Togeth er\, these works reflect the vitality of nature itself\, demonstrating tha t renewal emerges through diversity\, dialogue\, and the continual movemen t of ideas.

B ringing together ceramics and works on paper\, the exhibition examines Cla rke’s enduring exploration of the vessel\, drawing\, and the expressive potential of the handmade mark. \nFor more than four decades\, Clarke has investigated the relationship between form\, surface\, and touch. While th e vessel remains central to his practice\, his work extends beyond traditi onal ceramics through an ongoing dialogue with drawing\, color\, and gestu re. The resulting works record both the physical act of making and the qui et rhythms that shape the creative process. \nClarke describes his practic e as one guided by touch and by an intuitive response to both material and process: “I think I have always cast a pretty wide net in terms of my e xploration of clay. Pots and the vessel have held the center but there has been a strong overlay of interest in drawing\, color and leaving a trace of the hand. I navigate both the clay and drawing with an emphasis on ‘t ouch’ and a felt response to the materials and to my own inner rhythms a nd sensibilities. I am guided by a dialogue with the work and find myself in agreement when it speaks in a voice that has commitment and conviction\ , but also the allure of mystery and enigma. I am always most pleased when the work strikes a balance between wildness and restraint. Through all th is work I am most interested in distinguishing the record\, the moment of the hand touching clay\, and the actual quality of feeling surrounding the work.” \nThe exhibition highlights Clarke’s sustained interest in bal ancing spontaneity with restraint\, allowing each object to embody both th e evidence of its making and a sense of quiet contemplation. Through layer ed surfaces\, expressive line\, and carefully considered form\, King’s H ighway invites viewers to consider clay as both a material and a record of human experience. \nBede Clarke is Professor Emeritus at the University o f Missouri-Columbia\, where he taught ceramics from 1992 to 2021. He recei ved an MFA from the University of Iowa and a BFA from Eckerd College. His work is represented in museum collections throughout the United States and internationally\, including the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Tai pei County Yingge Ceramics Museum\, the Icheon World Ceramic Center\, the South Bend Museum of Art\, the Martin Museum of Art\, and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. Clarke lives and works in Columbia\, Missouri.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

All applicants must be below 40 pounds (due to the size limit of the cars). This opportunity is open to children who have already received a grant from Variety KC OR h ave yet to receive a grant item (participation in Go Baby Go does not impa ct your child’s availability to request a Variety KC Grant in the future ).

Imagine the wonders that could do for your daily commut e — that’s what the Green Commute Challenge is all about! \n \n \n \n How it works \n \n \n \n WAY TO G O promotes sustainable transportation resources through transit partnershi ps and a free carpool matching app (available via desktop and mobile). The program strives to fill in the gaps between points A and B and provide pe ople with affordable options.

Participants can also meet like-minded people at comm unity events\, made possible by our sponsors. A green commute is a trip to and from university/college or work and business-related trips using s ustainable transportation. Points can be earned for the following green mo des: Carpooling/vanpoolingBikingWalking/rollingScootingTaking the busRidin g the streetcar“The goal is to introduce new ways to get around that are better for the environment. The fewer people driving alone in their cars\ , the less traffic on our roads and the better air quality for our region\ ,” said Lynelle Haugabrook\, WAY TO GO program coordinator. \n \n \n \n A challenge with a purpose \n \n \n \n Since 2008\, WAY TO GO has coordinated the annual Green Commute Chal lenge and more than 7\,000 participants from 100+ major organizations and employers across the Kansas City metro region have supported the vision. “WAY TO GO envisions a region where green commutes are the best way for people to get to where they need to go. In this future\, transportation op tions are affordable\, accessible\, build community health and support eco nomic opportunity\,” said Haugabrook. \n \n \n \n A challenge with a purpose \n \n \n \n Step outside you r comfort zone and give green a try! We challenge you to make it fun by re cording points and attending the social events. The Green Commute Challeng e is open to people and employers who live/work within Johnson\, Leavenwor th\, Miami\, Platte and Wyandotte counties in Kansas and Cass\, Clay\, Jac kson and Ray counties in Missouri.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.

The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive.

At this year’s Rebuilding the Village Conference\, leaders from cities across the country gathered to share one simple truth: lasting public saf ety happens when entire communities work together.  What Is Community Saf ety? Community safety is more than reducing crime. It is creating the co nditions where people\, families\, businesses\, and neighborhoods can thr ive. While law enforcement plays an important role\, lasting public safet y is built long before a crisis occurs through prevention\, opportunity\, and strong community partnerships.  A comprehensive community safety appr oach addresses the root causes of violence by bringing together residents\ , businesses\, nonprofit organizations\, educators\, faith leaders\, gover nment agencies\, and law enforcement around a shared goal: creating safer\ , healthier communities for everyone. It combines prevention\, interventi on\, education\, economic opportunity\, neighborhood investment\, youth en gagement\, and support services to reduce violence before it happens while helping communities recover and grow.  KC Common Good’s Roots and Pre- Conference Engagement At KC Common Good\, this philosophy is the foundati on of KC 360\, our collaborative network that’s proudly modeled af ter Omaha 360\, a program in Nebraska led by the Empowerment Network.  This network connects leaders across sectors to identify challenges\, sh are resources\, and coordinate solutions. By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund.

By aligning public\, private\, n onprofit\, and community partners\, KC 360 demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when organizations work together rather than in isolation .  When communities invest in prevention\, strengthen partnerships\, and work toward shared outcomes\, they don’t just respond to violence. The y create safer neighborhoods where people can live\, work\, learn\, and su cceed together. That is what community safety looks like\, and it is the f uture KC Common Good is working to build every day.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n KC Comm on Good attendees also took part in the Pre-Conference\, where partner ci ties met early at the Village Empowerment Center. These unique sessions p rovided the chance for deep connection\, shared learning\, and firsthand observation of the Empowerment Network’s impactful community work.  Emp ire Dreams Founder and KC 360 member\, Kimberly Anne\, joined members of t he KC Common Good team and reflected\, “Dollars in Omaha are strategica lly invested through targeted funnel systems of collaboration that address the root causes of community challenges\, not the band-aid effects.”   About the “Rebuilding the Village” Conference For nearly two d ecades\, this conference has showcased some of the nation’s best evide nce-based strategies with proven\, measurable results. It connected not on ly Kansas City\, but additional partner cities like Tulsa\, New Orleans\ , Lansing\, and global partners like Sierra Leone\, sharing impactful appr oaches in education\, housing\, entrepreneurship\, safety\, economic mobil ity\, and more.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lessons in Community Safety from Omaha A s tandout moment came from Omaha’s Chief of Police\, Todd Schmaderer\, who reflected candidly on public safety and the importance of comprehensive c ommunity safety models beyond traditional policing by building community t rust and leveraging partnerships is key.  Omaha’s collaborative public safety approach continues to have reduced violence in key areas\, yet the city remains determined to reach zero incidents. They also emphasized the goal of reducing arrests overall\, particularly juvenile arrests\, seeki ng to address the core causes of violence.   Kansas City Collaboration\ , Outcomes and Shared Success One attendee from another partner city ex pressed the spirit of the conference: “When you find something that’s effective\, lawful\, and procedurally just\, then you want to bring that back to your own city.” For KC Common Good\, this exchange of proven i deas was invaluable.  Kansas City Is Demonstrating Community Safety Resu lts The results of this collective effort are becoming increasingly clear .  Gun violence in Kansas City is now at its lowest level in eight years. While no single program or organization can claim responsibility for this progress\, it reflects what is possible when a community aligns around  shared goals and coordinated action.  A significant contributor to this p rogress has been the City of Kansas City\, Missouri’s historic $30 milli on investment in community violence prevention through the Violence Preven tion Fund. This five-year commitment supports community-based organization s working directly in neighborhoods most impacted by violence through outr each\, youth development\, reentry services\, mental and behavioral health programs\, conflict mediation\, and other evidence-informed prevention st rategies. The investment reflects a growing recognition that public safety requires both prevention and intervention\, not simply enforcement.  At the heart of this work is KC 360. Since its launch\, the network has ex perienced a 24-fold increase in participation\, connecting more than 600 i ndividuals through weekly meetings\, engaging more than 500 participants i n workshops and trainings\, and building a network of over 300 partner org anizations committed to safer communities.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Trust is anothe r important measure of progress. Among participants in community safety p rogramming\, 62 percent reported increased trust in law enforcement\, dem onstrating the value of relationship-building and consistent engagement b etween residents and public institutions.  Kansas City’s partners are a lso taking action at the neighborhood level. Together\, organizations an d residents have completed more than 10\,000 community-based actions in n eighborhoods most impacted by violence. These efforts range from outreach and mentoring to neighborhood cleanups\, youth engagement\, conflict medi ation\, and connecting residents to resources.  One of the most promising examples of community-led safety is the Village Initiative. What began in one neighborhood has expanded to two. Within the Village Zone\, violence has been reduced by 44 percent\, generating more than $180 million in taxp ayer savings over the past two years while improving quality of life for r esidents. Learn more about our success in the first Village Zone in our blog.  The business community has also stepped forward in meaningful ways . Business partnerships focused on community safety and neighborhood inv estment have increased eightfold\, bringing new resources\, expertise\ , and opportunities to support community-driven solutions.  Young people are increasingly connected to positive opportunities as well. Participatio n in summer youth activities has increased by 7.5 times\, helping create s afe spaces\, mentorship opportunities\, and pathways to success for the ne xt generation.  At the same time\, investment in community-led public saf ety solutions has grown dramatically. Grants awarded to community-driven v iolence prevention and public safety initiatives have increased 20-fold\, ensuring that organizations closest to the challenges have access to the r esources needed to address them.  These outcomes remind us that community safety is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement or government. It is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration\, trust\, inves tment\, and sustained commitment.  Kansas City still has work to do\, but the progress being made demonstrates what is possible when public inves tment\, community leadership\, and cross-sector collaboration align around a common vision. Safer neighborhoods are created through relationships\, opportunity\, prevention\, and partnership.  Three Lessons Kansas City is Taking Home  Collaboration multiplies impact. Communities make faster progress when government\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and residents work t oward shared goals. Prevention is an investment\, not an expense. Addre ssing root causes creates stronger neighborhoods and reduces long-term cos ts. Data drives better decisions. Measuring outcomes helps communities s cale what works and continuously improve.   Moving Forward Together Com munity safety is not achieved by one organization or one program. It is bu ilt through sustained collaboration\, shared accountability\, and a belief that every neighborhood deserves the opportunity to thrive. KC Common Goo d remains committed to bringing proven ideas\, trusted partnerships\, and measurable solutions back to Kansas City as we continue building safer com munities together.
