Mission and programs · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

THE ODAA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IS DEDICATED TO CATALYZING PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH TRANSFORMATION. OUR CURRENT MISSION CENTERS ON CULTURALLY RESONANT HEALTH AND WELLNESS INITIATIVES IN DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. WE SPECIALIZE IN DELIVERING COMMUNITY-DRIVEN HEALTH SOLUTIONS, LEVERAGING EXPERTISE FROM FIELDS SUCH AS CLINICAL MEDICINE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, PUBLIC HEALTH, HOLISTIC WELLNESS, AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP. OUR APPROACH TO YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH INTEGRATES PEER AND CLINICAL SUPPORT, ENCOMPASSING GROUP COACHING AND SPECIALIZED CARE, AND IS EXEMPLIFIED BY OUR NEAR-PEER MODEL. THIS MODEL, BACKED BY RIGOROUS RESEARCH, FEATURES STRUCTURED CONVERSATIONS LED BY NEAR PEER LAY-PROVIDERS, AND IS BACKED BY TRAUMA-RESPONSIVE, DATA-DRIVEN METHODOLOGIES. OUR APPROACH TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION LEVERAGES STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION TO DESIGN CULTURALLY-INFORMED, YOUTH-SUPPORTED COMMUNITY HEALTH ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION SPACES.

  • THE FIRST MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT IS THE RECEIPT OF THE CITY OF BOSTON'S SUCCESSLINK GRANT FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS CORPS, AMOUNTING TO $98,000, WHICH IS AWAITING DISBURSEMENT. THIS INNOVATIVE PROGRAM AIMS TO ENGAGE, EMPLOY, AND EMPOWER BOSTON'S YOUTH BY PROVIDING THEM WITH MEANINGFUL WORK EXPERIENCES AND LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY SERVICE, HEALTHCARE, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE ARTS. THROUGH TRAINING IN PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND EXTENSIVE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMS, THE INITIATIVE SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AMONG YOUTH. IT EMPHASIZES A HOLISTIC HEALTH MODEL, INCORPORATING MENTAL HEALTH, HEART HEALTH, AND MATERNAL HEALTH INTO ITS CURRICULUM, AND PARTNERS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO DELIVER IMPACTFUL PROGRAMS.

  • THE SECOND NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENT IS THE LAUNCH OF THE MENTAL HEALTH AMBASSADORS PROGRAM AT JEREMIAH E. BURKE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS INITIATIVE HAS TRAINED A GROUP OF 10 HIGH SCHOOLERS AS ODAA GROUP LEADERS, EQUIPPING THEM TO DISSEMINATE THEIR TRAINING IN MENTAL WELLNESS THROUGH A VARIETY OF CONTENT FORMS TO THEIR PEERS. THIS PROGRAM IS EXEMPLARY OF THE FOUNDATION'S COMMITMENT TO TRANSFORMING COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH THROUGH YOUTH LEADERSHIP AND PEER SUPPORT.

  • ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUNDATION IS ALSO DEVELOPING A PROGRAM ADDRESSING TRAUMA AMONG RETURNING CITIZENS IN JAMAICA PLAIN AND HYDE PARK NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS COMPREHENSIVE INITIATIVE INTEGRATES A TRAUMA-RESPONSIVE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS CURRICULUM, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER TRAINING, AND YOGA AND MINDFULNESS SESSIONS, AIMING TO FACILITATE HEALING AND REINTEGRATION FOR INDIVIDUALS EXITING THE CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM.
