The Power of Stories is an archive of projects submitted every year to Building Healthy Communities (BHC) Statewide Convening. It showcases work created throughout California highlighting the power of individual and collective efforts to promote health and demonstrates how stories have the power to re-imagine and transform our communities. Produced in partnership with the California Endowment.

Fresno's Boys and Men of Color works alongside Fresno Building Healthy Communities to transform our neighborhoods and create #OneHealthyFresno. By initiating a poster campaign that acknowledges and celebrates the diverse goals and priorities of boys and men of color the community is able to see a more complete picture of young men as they strive to move ahead.
