Ogden Civic Action Network

Welcome to the Ogden Civic Action Network (OgdenCAN). We facilitate collaboration and local partnerships in health, education, built environment, economic stability and social fabric by offering a central point of organization committed to improving the welfare of our vibrant communities in the East Central neighborhood of Ogden, Utah.

The OgdenCAN Approach

Located on the corner of 26th and Monroe, OgdenCAN is an innovative space for local partnerships within the East Central neighborhood of Ogden, Utah. OgdenCAN initiated a collective impact approach to assist in revitalizing the community. This anchoring approach is grounded in a long-term commitment from anchor institutions, partners and community members; all who are dedicated to a patient discovery process that follows the energy of collaboration. In this revolutionary action plan, OgdenCAN aims to share their narrative of lasting community improvements in health, education, built environment, economic stability and social fabric through collective alignment and residential story sharing.

The mission of Ogden Civic Action Network is to focus on the health and well-being of our residents in the East Central neighborhood. We will accomplish this by being a funder of applied research, and the developer of community leaders.

Our vision is 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.
