Azizah Ali, Principal, Islah Academy (a private micro-school in South LA)
“Thanks to the incredible support and partnership of Community Nexus, our school has undergone a remarkable transformation. Community Nexus has revitalized our school grounds and empowered our students to cultivate their own healthy food options… It has instilled a sense of pride and ownership in our students”
Andrea Hodos, Associate Director, NewGround
“The approach of Community Nexus was thoughtful and thorough. Their support began with deep and gentle listening to the people in the community to co-create a framework for a project that met their needs. Then Community Nexus looked around to find the appropriate resources, connecting those resources with the people and the project. Our NewGround community felt honored to be called in at this stage to support the community as they created something beautiful and nourishing.”
Munir Shaikh, VP Operations and Academic Affairs, Bayan Islamic Graduate School
"Community Nexus does exactly what its name suggests -- bringing communities together in a space for deepened understanding, meaningful engagement, and impactful collaboration. Furthermore, it facilitates partnerships and conversations across disciplines and industries. Its success lies in the ability of the organization to engender trust, honor authenticity, and find common ground."
Rabbi Reuven Firestone, Regenstein Professor in Medieval Judaism and Islam, Hebrew Union College
"I have found that Community Nexus is one of the few community projects that stays above the fray in its quest for equity and truth. It is not afraid to negotiate complicated relationships and to serve as an unbiased forum for promoting deeper understanding than is usually possible in this increasingly polarized world."
