Fresno Works for Better Health (FWBH) is a community partnership that builds an employable workforce, connects them to jobs, and improves the community's health through economic and leadership development. The partnership emerged from a three year grant from The California Endowment and The Rockefeller Foundation. Through this grant the partners ha... ve done critical capacity building, infrastructure development, extensive research, engaged discussion locally, regionally, and nationally, and have developed a comprehensive strategy for moving their unique constituency towards self-sufficiency. The collaborative partners include One by One Leadership (OBO), Fresno Center for New Americans (FCNA), and Fresno West Coalition for Economic Development (FWCED). The Fresno Works for Better Health partners have taken the results of their research, dialogue, and planning and translated it into a targeted strategy for moving constituents to employment. The quality of the strategy resulted in a commitment from the foundations for a total of 5 million dollars of funding over a five year period.Read More
