Strengthening voices. Advancing systems change.

Timelist Group believes people closest to the challenges facing our communities should have a voice in shaping the solutions.

Our Civic Engagement Initiative connects residents, families, justice-impacted individuals, young people, community organizations, and public institutions through education, community engagement, leadership development, and opportunities for meaningful participation.

Our work is rooted in lived experience and focused on helping communities better understand the policies, systems, and decisions that affect their everyday lives.

Our Civic Engagement Priorities

Youth Violence Prevention & Community Safety

We support violence prevention through credible messengers, youth mentorship, community education, leadership development, stakeholder engagement, and partnerships that strengthen community safety.

Justice Reform & Reentry

Building on Timelist Group’s experience serving justice-impacted communities, we provide education and engagement around reentry, diversion, alternatives to incarceration, second chances, and policies affecting formerly incarcerated individuals and their families.

Women, Families & Reentry

We elevate issues affecting incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women, including housing, employment, healthcare access, family reunification, systems navigation, economic stability, and successful reentry.

Housing Stability

We engage communities around housing stability, homelessness prevention, supportive housing, reentry housing barriers, and policies that impact individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity.

Workforce & Economic Mobility

We support pathways to employment, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, career development, and economic opportunity while helping address barriers faced by justice-impacted communities.

Civic Participation & Community Power

Timelist Group creates opportunities for communities to learn, connect, participate, and lead.

Our civic engagement activities may include voter registration and education, community forums, town halls, policy education, leadership development, community listening sessions, stakeholder convenings, and partnerships with organizations working to strengthen communities.

We center lived experience and work to ensure community members have the information and tools needed to engage with the institutions and decisions that affect their lives.

Where We Work

Our civic engagement work is anchored in Los Angeles County, with an initial focus on expanding engagement and partnerships throughout the Antelope Valley and opportunities for broader engagement across California.
