Dive in and discover how you can learn, connect, and act with us.
CPR Leaders - Community Leadership Development
The CPR Leaders program within NJCPR Academy is dedicated to forging a nationwide network of community champions, starting with our roots in New Jersey and reaching every corner of the country. We provide workshops, mentorship, and hands-on training to equip individuals with the skills to advocate for housing equity, spearhead local projects, and drive revitalization efforts—whether in urban centers like Newark or rural towns in Texas. CPR Leaders is about empowering people to take charge, from rallying for affordable homes in California to organizing cleanups in Ohio, building a movement that transcends state lines.
​
Our training blends practical tools—like mastering housing policies or securing community grants—with essential leadership skills, such as public speaking and coalition-building, tailored to diverse regional needs. Participants might include a young organizer in Chicago learning to push for tenant rights, a parent in Atlanta tackling neighborhood blight, or a retiree in Portland mastering grassroots planning—each session adapts to local challenges while reflecting NJCPR’s proven approach. By fostering these skills, we’re creating a ripple effect of leadership that strengthens communities coast to coast, aligned with our vision of a nation where every neighborhood thrives.
​
The impact of CPR Leaders is growing beyond New Jersey, planting seeds for national change. Early successes—like a housing coalition launched in Trenton or a youth program sparked in Camden—are now inspiring similar efforts in places like Denver and Charlotte, showing how local leadership can scale. If you’re ready to lead where you live, join CPR Leaders—because at NJCPR, we’re not just training leaders for New Jersey anymore; we’re building a nationwide force for community impact.
CPR Connect - Community Events & Networking
CPR Connect brings communities together nationwide through events and networking opportunities that ignite collaboration and celebrate shared purpose, rooted in NJCPR’s New Jersey origins and now reaching across the country. From virtual town halls linking advocates in Los Angeles to in-person workshops uniting residents in Philadelphia, we host gatherings that connect people to our mission of revitalizing neighborhoods and expanding sustainable housing. These events are your chance to join a growing network of individuals, families, and partners—from Portland to Miami—who care about making communities stronger.
​
Every CPR Connect event is crafted to educate and inspire action, no matter where you are. Imagine a family in Denver attending a homeownership seminar, a community leader in Detroit networking with housing experts, or a business owner in Charlotte brainstorming with our team—each moment fosters real connections. We mix formats like panels, Q&As, and casual meetups to turn ideas into partnerships, offering practical insights (like accessing CPR programs) alongside the energy of collective effort, all tailored to local and national needs.
​
The strength of CPR Connect lies in its power to unite diverse voices for a common cause, building on successes like New Jersey resource fairs that are now inspiring nationwide impact. Past events have sparked alliances—like a Chicago nonprofit joining our efforts or a group in Tucson launching a housing initiative—showing how connection drives progress. Whether you’re in a big city or small town, CPR Connect welcomes you to plug into NJCPR’s network—because when communities link up, solutions multiply.
