Our Mission: The American Cancer Society Sankofa Project empowers underserved communities, through research, education, advocacy, and services to identify and to reduce cancer disparities by forging community partnerships and implementing culturally appropriate strategies. Our Background: The Sankofa Project was designed to incorporate community feedback through an established collaboration with the Northside YMCA, identified community leaders and American Cancer Society staff using the Community Based Participatory Research Model(CBPR). The objective is working individually, collectively, and cross-functionally to promote success of the Sankofa Project and identify community partners, such as the YMCA, to help reach our goals. The Sankofa Project is in place to begin a strong community mobilization effort to increase our volunteer base and program participation in Milwaukee's African-American community. The focus is based on the meaning of Sankofa, "Learning from the past to build for the future." |
