About Burnham Center for Community Advancement

The Burnham Center for Community Advancement is bringing San Diegans from across the region together to identify needs, find innovative solutions and bring big ideas to life. Together, we will create a thriving, healthy and equitable region for the future. BCCA will encourage and support our community and leaders to come together and act upon the shared needs, values, and aspirations that define us. How we’ll do it We believe that through community engagement, vigorous dialogue, research, data, and best practices, we can build a platform for our leaders, businesses, educators, workers, researchers, faith-based organizations, nonprofits, residents, and government to move us forward and beyond. Our goal is to tap the power of community to transform San Diego into a region that opens doors, provides opportunity, helps the people of our great region prosper, and becomes a place we are all proud to call home. Together, we will bring big ideas to life through: Transformation: We’ll strive for new solutions that will move our region in a new direction by finding novel ideas to address our most persistent problems. Ideas to Action: We’re not just dreamers. We’re doers. One of the most important dimensions of this model is that ideas will become action. Collaboration: Engagement, partnership, and cooperation allow us to achieve things we often can’t do on our own.
