The Obodo Collective

Our name draws inspiration from the Igbo language, where "Obodo" means both "city" and "community." Just like the industrious Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria, we believe in the power of active and continuous engagement in our neighborhoods to transform regions into thriving communities.
Led by our dedicated local executive directors, we are committed to providing strategic solutions for various community challenges. We actively seek funding opportunities for service providers and grassroots leaders, empowering them to make a positive impact in their neighborhoods. We support people in neglected, marginalized, and oppressed communities.
We have established an urban farm on the historic westside. This urban farm serves as a symbol of hope and resilience, transforming unused urban spaces into fertile grounds for growth. Through this initiative, we aim to promote food security, provide educational opportunities, and create a sense of unity among community members. 
We are Community!
