Walk & Bike Mendocino
Bring the joy of walking and biking to our communities and help steer us toward a cleaner earth
Walk and Bike Mendocino promotes walking and biking as a primary transportation choice in short distance travel in Mendocino County. They advocate for pro-walking and biking governmental policies and infrastructure to help residents make the healthier choice when they commute, work with neighborhood coalitions to create and transform public spaces to strengthen community connections, and provide programs that promote safer routes to school such as The Walking School Bus every Wednesday to Yokayo Elementary School. Become a part of the movement for better walking and bicycling and healthier lifestyle choices in Mendocino County. Learn More about Walk & Bike Mendocino here.
Healthy Mendocino
You can help us strengthen county-wide partnerships to improve community health for all residents.
When organizations, government, grassroots groups, and residents band together to address a community issue, lasting change can occur. Healthy Mendocino seeks to promote better well-being for all Mendocino County residents by supporting organizations in collaborations addressing community need and by educating the public about healthy choices and available resources. They lead a collaborative assessment that identifies the most pressing community health issues and host an online space for organizations to share resources and program updates and maintain a platform for localized health data. This data is an essential resource that community leaders reference to inform decision-making and that local non-profits turn to secure funding. Additionally, Healthy Mendocino continuously advocates for the inclusion and participation of all voices in the community health improvement process. When all voices have a seat at the table and the chance to participate in the design of solutions, interventions are innovative, culturally-responsive, and make a greater impact on the every day lives of those they intend to serve.
