Prosperemos Juntos / Thriving Together currently engages coalitions in Bexar County, the Mid-Border region (Dimmit, Edwards, Kinney, LaSalle, Maverick, Real, Uvalde, Val Verde, and Zavala counties), and the Laredo area (Webb, Zapata, and Jim Hogg counties). For the 2024 cohort, we will target our Mid-Border and Laredo regions. Our target counties include Jim Hogg, Zapata, Webb, Dimmit, Edwards, Kinney, LaSalle, Maverick, Real, Uvalde, Val Verde, Zavala. Each coalition will be supported as they:

1. Engage in community transformation in a way that advances equitable processes and outcomes.
2. Address the underlying vital conditions (social determinants of health) with communities most affected by poverty, racial, health and other inequities.
3. Develop and implement a strategy to address root causes of intergenerational poverty and exclusion.

Prosperemos Juntos | Thriving Together is a power-shifting, collaborative opportunity for communities in south and central Texas to substantially accelerate their equity journey. We believe communities hold the solutions to improve their health and well-being. The goal of the Learning Collaborative is to equip coalitions with skills and resources to strategically advance health equity, using the Pathways to Population Health Equity framework as a guide.

As part of Prosperemos Juntos | Thriving Together, we hold intentional space for faith communities from all religions and denominations called Community Faith Connections. We host a special monthly session in which we explore the role faith communities play in neighborhood change. In these sessions, we also offer tools and resources that uniquely apply to faith contexts. Faith communities bring unique capacities and are instrumental contributors to cultivating a thriving community. All faith communities who are walking with communities experiencing inequities are strongly encouraged to apply.
