What We Do

The HWC develops and organizes leaders, promotes workers’ rights, and fosters a culture of civic engagement in order to build power and create change with immigrant and underrepresented communities.

We use a Core Team model to identify and activate leaders, using 10 steps to community organizing: 1. Build Relationships 2. Investigate and Listen 3. Research Issues. 4. Delivery of Findings. 5. Plan of Action. 6. Execution Outside of HWC. 7. Evaluate. 8 Communicate Results. 9. Celebrate.  10. Assess and Wonder.   Each core team concentrates on specific topic to plan, develop, execute, and experience the result of coalition building towards one single goal.

Interesting Info
  • The HWC is dedicated to helping build a community that works for all. With our iron rule: “Do not do for others what they can do for themselves."
