C3EN Team Member Highlight: Roberta Logwood
Over 15 years, I have touched and helped 500-600 at-risk youth through one-on-one mentorship. I’m most proud of that because coming up I didn’t have that–there was nobody to say, “Hey, I see some potential in you!” or “Hey, you’re going down a wrong path–let me help you!”

CSAC Member Highlight: Veronica Fitzpatrick
My research is primarily in the maternal child health space, with a concentration on how we deliver care to vulnerable populations. I hope to figure out a way to lessen (or eliminate!) adverse outcomes related to perinatal care by focusing on the care delivery structure as opposed to the individual pregnant person

Meet Joyce Chapman Community Grant Awardee Amanda R. Mathew
The more I learned about how the tobacco industry has targeted the African American community, the more I started to think about smoking as not just a health issue, but a social justice issue.
Meet Joyce Chapman Community Grant Awardee Raheem Young
We felt there should be an organization to help new as well as experienced fathers better cope with the feelings of uncertainty and pressure that sometimes comes with the anticipation of a new child.
Community Action Spotlight: Latino Alzheimer’s Coalition for Advocacy, Research, and Education (LA CARE)
“There’s not enough research out there and not enough participation for Latinos in research. We want to change that–we want to continue to advocate for more research and continue to nudge the community to participate in research.”
