Transforming Communities – Pinelands Community Network Event
November 13, 2023 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Seigha Omuso is the founder and Executive Director of The Opportunity League (TOL) in Burlington City. Founded in 2009, TOL addresses community social, economic, and educational disparities and currently enriches the lives of over 400 households annually. TOL works to close the equity gap in the areas of food access, education and career pathways, recreation and sports, and economic development. In 2022 Seigha joined the staff at the Pinelands Preservation Alliance as Community Engagement Associate to more deeply engage with PPA and our Rancocas Creek Farm.
In this presentation Seigha will speak about the ongoing effort to strengthen and transform the community of Burlington City. The collaborative relationship between TOL and PPA has been one of the elements to initiating change in Burlington City through food access. This space will allow different sectors of the community (education, career pathways and work force development) to come together and brainstorm how we can work to further change the landscape of hyper local and overburdened communities across the state.
Refreshments will be served. RSVP below!
