Imani reminds us to believe, even when the work is hard.

Urban Renaissance Center is rooted in faith, resilience, and hope. Faith in God. Faith in people. Faith that community transformation is possible when love and action come together.

As we enter the new year, we remain committed to walking this journey with the
community.

Ujamaa teaches us that economic strength grows when we invest locally.

Urban Renaissance Center supports job readiness, youth employment, urban
agriculture, and community-based economic opportunities that circulate resources right back into the neighborhood.

When we support local work, we strengthen local families.

Ujima reminds us that we are responsible for each other.

From maintaining vacant lots to growing food, mentoring youth, and supporting
families, Urban Renaissance Center believes community work is shared work.

When one part of Civic Park is struggling, we don’t look away. We step in together.

Self-determination means the community gets to shape its own future.

At Urban Renaissance Center, Kujichagulia shows up through workforce programs
like Rebounding Force, youth leadership, and creative spaces that help people build skills, confidence, and direction on their own terms.

We believe people are more than their circumstances. With opportunity and support, they define what’s next.

Unity isn’t just something we talk about. It’s something we practice.
Umoja reminds us that real change happens when a community moves together. At Urban Renaissance Center, unity looks like neighbors working side by side, partners showing up consistently, and programs designed with the community, not just for it.
From Civic Park residents to youth, elders, artists, and workers, we believe we rise
together.
