To unify, organize, educate and empower neighborhood families and leaders, and partner with community-based organizations to address and positively transform the topics and challenges the community identifies as most important.
Westwood Unidos was founded in 2012 by residents and organizations previously working together as LiveWell Westwood. WU conducted hundreds of listening conversations with residents to hear the community’s concerns and their motivation to act. WU then created community action teams to create safer streets and alleys, start a community center, promote school wellness and overall health, and advocate for and promote transit projects within the community.
