Vision
Approach and values
The residents of our neighborhoods are at the center of everything we do. We are here to amplify their voices and walk alongside them as they lead their communities toward flourishing.
Our history
City Fields began as a holistic neighborhood revitalization initiative of the United Way of the Ocoee Region in 2014. Wanting to move away from the catchall service of many nonprofits, we decided to embark on a mission that impacted an inch wide and a mile deep, rather than the other way around.
As a Community Development Corporation (CDC) we are incorporated to provide programs, offer services, and engage in other activities that promote and support community development. This legal designation allows us to be more effective and efficient as an organization.
