What We Do

Picture
Compassionate California supports the ever growing Compassion Movement that brings the Charter for Compassion to life. We do this by providing a platform for the emerging network of California Compassionate Cites/Communities and California-based Charter Partners.

Our core services aim to inspire, empower, link and support the California compassion network of communities, organizations, businesses, schools/universities and other institutions.

Compassionate California provides information, resources, connection, support, guidance and opportunities for engagement to communities interested in implementing care-based initiatives that are in alignment with California Legislative ACR 108.
Compassionate California provides a strategy and tool kit for community governments and stakeholders/Partners working together to build safe, healthy, creative, and prosperous environments.

Compassionate California serves as a connector, a cultivator of relationships, between Partners and between Compassionate Communities so that all can learn from, and support each other’s efforts.

This may involve connecting Partners with one another, Compassionate Communities (affirmed or initiatives) with one another, connecting Partners with existing Community working groups, or encouraging and supporting Partners in starting new Compassionate Community initiatives/campaigns.
We also offer consultation to answer some of your questions. If we don't know the answer, we know where to get them!

We play host in a myriad of ways whereby we can support, illuminate and amplify the compassionate, transformative work being done in our communities around our State, and help us all achieve our common goal of caring, thriving compassionate communities, where all are treated with justice, equity and respect.
We understand collaboration and cooperation are essential in creating a thriving network … it’s your models and resources that organically grow a truly Compassionate California.

We hold the vision that we can support one another, or just know about one another in California, until we can say we truly live in a State of Compassion.
