Community Engagement

Involving the Local Community: The Revolution Wealth OZ Fund is deeply committed to engaging the residents of West Las Vegas throughout the development process. The project recognizes that the success of the revitalization effort depends on active and ongoing community involvement. To ensure that residents’ voices are heard and their needs are met, the fund has implemented a robust community engagement strategy that includes public forums, workshops, and town halls.

Public Forums:

  • Purpose: Public forums are held regularly to provide residents with updates on the project’s progress, discuss upcoming initiatives, and gather feedback from the community. These forums serve as an open platform where community members can ask questions, express concerns, and offer suggestions.
  • Frequency: Monthly forums are conducted, with special sessions held as needed for significant project milestones or announcements.

Workshops:

  • Purpose: Workshops are organized to educate residents on various aspects of the development, such as sustainable living practices, financial literacy, and homeownership. These sessions are designed to empower residents with the knowledge and skills needed to fully benefit from the project’s initiatives.
  • Focus Areas: Recent workshops have covered topics such as solar energy installation, small business development, and the benefits of Family Wealth Trusts.

Town Halls:

  • Purpose: Town halls provide a more interactive environment where residents can engage directly with project leaders, ask in-depth questions, and participate in decision-making processes. These events foster a sense of transparency and accountability, ensuring that the project remains aligned with the community’s needs.
  • Frequency: Quarterly town halls are scheduled, with additional meetings convened for urgent matters or community-driven requests.

Educational Initiatives

HBCU Partnerships: The Revolution Wealth OZ Fund has partnered with several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to bring educational opportunities to West Las Vegas. These partnerships are a critical component of the project’s broader goal to empower residents through education and workforce development.

Educational Programs:

  • Certificate Programs: In collaboration with HBCUs, the fund offers certificate programs in high-demand fields such as Renewable Energy Technologies, Data Science, and Healthcare Management. These programs are designed to equip residents with the skills needed to secure well-paying jobs in growing industries.
  • Satellite Campuses: HBCUs are establishing satellite campuses in West Las Vegas, providing residents with access to higher education without the need to leave their community. These campuses offer both degree programs and continuing education courses, ensuring that residents of all ages can pursue their educational goals.

Empowering Local Residents:

  • Workforce Development: Through these educational initiatives, the fund is helping to create a skilled workforce that is prepared to meet the demands of the modern economy. By providing residents with the tools they need to succeed, the fund is fostering economic mobility and long-term stability within the community.
  • Youth Engagement: The fund is also focused on engaging younger residents by offering internships, apprenticeships, and mentorship programs. These opportunities are designed to inspire the next generation of leaders in West Las Vegas and provide them with the guidance needed to achieve their full potential.
