Ogden Civic Action Network

Ogden Civic Action Network (OgdenCAN) is a coalition of anchor institutions, community partners, and neighbors committed to improving the health and well-being of our community.

To focus on the health and well-being of our residents in the East Central neighborhood.

A thriving Ogden-Weber Community in partnership with the United Partnership Council through five areas of focus: Health, Education, Built Environment, Economic Stability and Social Fabric.

Our Hyper-Local Commitment: The East Central Neighborhood

OgdenCAN is hyper-local and place-based, with its deepest focus in Ogden’s East Central Neighborhood. Here, we support local leadership, convene and strengthen neighborhood networks, and invest in community interventions that build health and opportunity.

While our work is grounded in East Central, it is connected to the broader Ogden-Weber community. In partnership with residents and organizations such as the United Partnership Council (UPC) and Weber Morgan Health, OgdenCAN cultivates collaborative networks focused on five Community Pillars of Health: lifelong learning, vibrant economy, safe and strong neighborhoods, community connection, and healthy lifestyles. By investing deeply at the neighborhood level, we help inform and strengthen grass root community efforts in East Central and beyond.

By centering our work at the neighborhood level we:

Identify, connect, and mobilize community assets — the people, places, and partnerships that form the foundation of neighborhood strength.
Build trust and momentum through consistent presence and authentic relationship building with and between neighbors.
Address challenges at the neighborhood level, where solutions can be most meaningful.
Create community impact models that can scale to other parts of the city and region.
