Last year The Malin Burnham Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) at The San Diego Foundation hosted more than 1,500 community members of different age, race and zip code, as well as influential keynotes, from leading futurists to social justice champions of the most groundbreaking movements of our time.
The CCE brought community together to learn and discuss social challenges and opportunities by facilitating dialogue and collaborative action to create a vibrant San Diego region.
In 2016, CCE welcomed award-winning social justice visionaries: civil rights icon Dolores Huerta and elder boom expert Ai-Jen Poo; celebrities like pro-snowboarder and outdoor advocate Ryan Hudson and filmmaker/anti-recidivism champion Malik Vitthal; thought leaders such as UC Irvine professor of Criminology, Law & Society Charis Kubrin and University of Southern California professor of Sociology, American Studies & Ethnicity Dr. Manuel Pastor, and more.
Here are some memorable sentiments from CCE events in 2016 to inspire more community conversations across the San Diego region in the New Year:
On August 9, 2022, we awarded $838,704 in Opening the Outdoors grants to 24 nonprofit organizations that offer equitable access to outdoor spaces in San Diego County.
“San Diego Foundation is proud to once again support its partners committed to increasing community-driven efforts to enhance accessible outdoor space, encourage youth to learn more through hands-on education and create the next generation of environmental stewards in the San Diego region,” said Christiana DeBenedict, SDF Director of Environment Initiatives.
This year’s grantees will help address these inequities and enhance access to the outdoors throughout San Diego County.
