So much of the racial animosity we see in our society stems from a fear of the unknown. Community Frontline hopes to eliminate said fear by cultivating spaces where people from various racial backgrounds can better get to know one another. We host opportunities for people to come together and have conversations surrounding race in an environment free from judgment and intent on education and expression.
We believe that exposure to the lived experiences of our fellow man will lead to further inquiry and ultimately advocacy and solution. We work alongside various organizations and with official departments across our county and city to play our role to ensure healing across racial divides. Community Frontline focuses on fortifying personal relationships with people across demographic lines with the hope that if an issue occurs with anyone in our collective community, we all seek a solution for our neighbor and friend.
Community Frontline’s Police/Community relations efforts are focused on relationship building, accountability, and mediation to foster understanding. Our Police Community Relations Department holds weekly and monthly meetings with every level of law enforcement officials to stay well-informed of the latest happenings in policing from a systemic perspective.
We host opportunities for residents to voice their concerns for the state of policing in our city to inform our internal advocacy work as an organization and allow people to express issues directly to department officers. We also offer officers opportunities to personally know the people they serve and for the community to be trained on what actual duties and experiences accompany policing.
As changes occur through legislation and departmental policies, Community Frontline hosts informational forums to keep our Community in Fort Worth well aware of the latest trends affecting our safety. While policing issues become public through media outlets, we create spaces for officers to explain the realities of the headlines directly to community members so all sides can be knowledgeable. It is the hope of our organization that law enforcement and the greater community can perceive the humanity in one another and act accordingly for the safety and security of our city as a collective.
Education is more than the fundamentals of reading, writing, and mathematics. Education is the wholistic well-being of an individual to reach their full potential and self-sustainability. Community Frontline’s Educational and Mentorship service focuses on more than simply the importance of classroom learning but also works to ensure that there is aid and accountability at all levels of the educational system.
We reach students directly through our partner programs Create + Collaborate and My Brother’s Keeper, as well as in athletics through Fort Worth Outlaws Youth Association. Community Frontline also continues to provide college tours and scholarship opportunities to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We work directly with local Universities, Texas Christian University and Texas Wesleyan University, to ensure that education and exposure extend to students across the greater Fort Worth area in all city sectors.
Education/Mentorship extends outside of the educational system to the community at large; our organization hosts monthly informational forums in the hopes of adding educational accessibility of resources and pertinent information to those who have historically lacked access.
