Contact the Coalition

The Cultural Awareness Coalition is actively working to promote a community where ALL people have the opportunity to thrive. To be culturally aware is to be conscious of and to directly know, perceive, feel, and be cognizant of the total way of life of particular groups of people including everything that a group of people thinks, says, does and makes, its systems, attitudes and feelings.

Supported by Midland Area Community Foundation the endeavors of the coalition, open doors to understanding and helps to create an inclusive environment in Midland County where everyone is accepted, included, and feels a sense of belonging.
