The New Crotona Coalition is an assembly of residents and professionals alike who volunteer their time to empower and engage the Crotona Community around Health. We impact the Community Health by focusing on these four areas education, beautification, housing and good development. The group is comprised of members from local PTAs, Tenant Associations, religious organizations and residents. It is a program of the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center.     What does a health community look like to you? Come out to our monthly meetings to join us as we began at the root of the community?
