Building Belonging in Orange County
At OCCCO, we believe in the dignity and humanity of every person. Every resident of Orange County deserves to live with dignity and belonging. Our work centers on justice, equity and bridging across divides—racial, economic, generational, and ideological—so that we can build a stronger community where everyone is included and cared for.
Through leadership development and grassroots organizing, OCCCO equips youth, parents, people of faith, and neighbors with the tools to share their stories, connect across differences, and advocate for systemic change. Together, we are transforming public school, housing policies, and civic life to reflect equity, justice, and belonging.
"OCCCO has helped me build my leadership skills, gain the confidence to ask questions, and get involved in my community, all while providing strong support"
