​​

  1. Affordable Eco Housing for Marginalized People: We advocate for and work towards the development of affordable eco housing solutions for marginalized communities. By incorporating permaculture principles into housing design and construction, we aim to create sustainable and environmentally friendly living spaces that are accessible to all.

  2. Food Security and Sovereignty through Permaculture: We promote food security and sovereignty through permaculture practices that prioritize regenerative agriculture, community gardening, and sustainable food production. By connecting people with the land and empowering communities to grow their own food, we aim to address food insecurity and promote resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

  3. Equity in Education: We advocate for equitable access to education for all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Through our initiatives, we strive to address systemic barriers to education and create inclusive learning environments that value diversity, promote cultural understanding, and empower students to succeed as global citizens --- zooming-in to advocate for local issues and zooming-out to take global responsibility.

  4. Connected Events for BIPOC+ Allies through the Arts: We organize and host events that bring together BIPOC+ allies to connect, collaborate, and celebrate through the arts. These events provide opportunities for cultural exchange, creative expression, and community building, fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity among participants.

QCIC takes a multi-faceted approach to advancing our key manadates:

  • Permaculture Integration: We integrate permaculture ethics and principles into our initiatives to promote holistic and sustainable solutions. By drawing connections between plants and people, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the interdependence of all living beings and the importance of stewardship of the earth.

  • Community Engagement: We actively engage with communities to identify their needs and priorities, ensuring that our initiatives are responsive and relevant. By centering the voices and experiences of marginalized individuals, we strive to create meaningful and impactful change.

  • Collaborative Partnerships: We collaborate with other organizations, government agencies, and stakeholders to leverage resources, expertise, and networks. By working together, we can amplify our impact and achieve greater collective outcomes.

"Just as we have many parts in one body — and all the parts do not have the same function — so we, who are many, are ONE in Christ and everyone parts of one another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace that was given to us.”

- Roman 12:4-6
