About MCP

The Monument Community Partnership (MCP) is a broad-based collaborative of residents, human service agencies, health service agencies, the school district, city government and local business owners. It is designed to improve the well-being of people who live in the Monument Community, a severely under-resourced neighborhood in the heart of Concord, California.

A key premise of the MCP is this: That taking intelligent and effective action to reduce poverty and improve the well-being of a community starts with building personal relationships that allow people from different backgrounds and disciplines to work effectively together toward common goals. Functional social networks and experience-based trust are preconditions for any community to work well. Therefore, the MCP, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, works to involve residents of all ages, ethnicity and immigration status as equal partners with local public and private organizations in productive, action-based collaboration. This is no easy task. The fact that we have painstakingly created a functional, productive way for people from divergent groups to work together is in itself a major achievement and serves as the foundation for everything else we do.
