The purpose of the government domain is to mobilize christians to create a culture of community involvement in the political process in our city, state, and nation. In 2022, the government domain had 578 people attend events and sent 52 email newsletters. In january, about 40 volunteers and partners gathered to pray at the state capital, as well as at Tucson city hall. During the year, the events included trainings, networking, and appreciation expression for local first responders and government. Weekly newsletters and domain communications informed readers on local legislation issues including criminal justice reform, protecting the rights of the unborn, and the rights of parents to choose the type of education that is right for their children. During the year, our volunteers held 6 series of biblical citizenship classes with about 38 total participants. These classes included the importance of citizenship, the meaning of biblical citizenship, and the contrast to socialism.

"the cost of poverty experience (cope) provides an opportunity to learn and engage with other people committed to serving children and families in your community. These experiences were developed by one of our partner organizations, think tank, Inc., who co-designed cope with individuals and families living in low-income communities who bravely shared their stories. Their experiences give participants a glimpse into what it is like to live below the poverty line and shatter stereotypes often perpetuated by mass media. The simulation also captures the role that the broader community often plays in their interactions with low-income families." - two 4tucson employees were trained to facilitate cope events during the fall of 2022 after experiencing this event that brought in participants from around Tucson. Our first cope event took place in aug 2022, and had 26 participants.

The purpose of the social services domain is to provide opportunities for christ-centered fellowship, collaboration, professional development, and prayer among social service agencies and partners. In 2022, the social services domain had six events (note: attendance not always recorded). The events included networking and service opportunities to connect social service organizations and provide services to vulnerable communities in Tucson. The newsletters provided biblical training in the social service domain priorities. Market on the move (mom)-this program continued in the amphi neighborhood, which allowed quality, fresh produce and groceries to be sold for very lost cost or given for free to those with extra need. There were 6 mom's in 2022 between january and june. Then, through 4tucson's role as implementing partner for careportal in pima county, the social service domain delivered over 250 requests for household items for foster families in need, which impacted over 500 vulnerable children and their families. Serve amphi - "connecting the community to resources and each other at serve amphi, we want to build fellowship and collaboration between amphi neighborhood residents and local nonprofit organizations. Come out and learn about what resources are available to residents and families in the amphi area" serve amphi happened two times in 2022. Connections caf took place four times in 2022 - connections caf is a monthly morning gathering that takes place at a local coffee/ breakfast location in order for social services representatives to meet and get to know each other. There were a total of 12 people who attended these events.

Movement day & education taskforce movement day 2022 took place in january of 2022. 4tucson used the design thinking process to launch projects in the areas of poverty reduction, economic development, and housing. We had 48 participants, which led us to our monthly meetings to continue working out our plans. In april (19-22), five members of the 4tucson staff took a trip to Washington dc. There we met with leaders of ten cities to discuss city transformation strategies being incorporated nationally and worldwide. We shared our research process and learned best practices from other national and international city gospel movement leaders. In august (10-13), two of our staff were invited to participate in national housing co-creation event w/ stand together. During this trip, we made national connections in the space of affordable housing and homelessness. We all shared best practices on program development and management, marketing and messaging, and other nonprofit management strategies. From the co-creation event, we decided to implement the co-creation strategy into our future movement day events. In october, we had our first influencer summit with a focus on education. The goal of the influencer summit was to gather influencers in the educator sector to speak into the research report and assist in programming for movement day 2023: catalyze. These 13 influencers drafted "how might we statements" that were used to create ideas to be used january, during movement day 2023, which would be our first try with the co-creation format. Housing and education follow-up taskforces meetings during 2022, 4tucson was able to gather 18 participants in three meetings to discuss and continue planning for the housing projects determined during movement day 2022. The education follow-up meeting to the influencer summit (1 meeting with 8 participants) was conducted to prepare the project that would be used for movement day 2023's co-creation process. Poverty reduction taskforce the purpose of the poverty reduction taskforce is to address the root causes of poverty with data-driven solutions that align with biblical principles. The poverty reduction taskforce had 88 people attend 13 taskforce events. During these meetings, we worked at encouraging and supporting mentoring groups for kids ages 8-18. During these meetings, we also connected with 9 mentoring programs in southern Arizona (samc- southern Arizona mentoring coalition) and participated in a collaborative event held at the university of Arizona. The uofa mentoring day, which was the 26th annual kids night at ua football game, was held on september 10th. During this year, we also looked for a program that was evidence-based and could be used to help parents increase the resiliency of their children by addressing protective factors. We were introduced to the rezilient kidz program out of Colorado and wrote a grant to bring "raising highly capable kids" parenting program to southern Arizona. Our grant award allowed us to provide train-the-trainer for agency/church personnel. These trained personnel would then be able to facilitate the 13-week parenting program. The grant paid for the rk trainer's travel/accommodations, as well as the training materials. This training is part of following this evidence-based program with fidelity, which gives the best chance of having the positive results described in the research. This training also allowed the new facilitators a chance to join the growing coalition of rhck's Tucson facilitators with quarterly meetings for training and supports. We were able to train 65 trainers. 4 agencies/churches ran 4 groups, including 18 parents. Our goal is to move forward with further groups and potentially participate in future grants, which will bring more training and give opportunity to more agencies, schools, and churches to offer these parenting groups. We also started the process of getting this parenting program to be approved by the state of Arizona to be used with court- involved families. Economic opportunity and development taskforce the purpose of the economic opportunity and development taskforce is to address systemic issues within Tucson's economic environment using data- driven solutions that align with biblical principles. The economic opportunity and development taskforce had 91 people attend 18 events and monthly meetings. The economic opportunity and development taskforce also participated in monthly gatherings of the amphi coalition, which is a collaborative network of over 25 nonprofits working to strengthen the amphi neighborhood. In 2022, the taskforce continued amphi market day which showcased local artisans and food vendors and allowed a safe space for neighbors to connect. 4tucson was able to facilitate one event with 15 vendors. Faith leaders of amphi gathering started in 2022. At this gathering, we offered a space for the faith leaders in the neighborhood to unite, pray over the community, and seek greater peace and connection for amphi neighborhood's residents and businesses. This group met monthly (11 times) and consisted of representatives from 5 churches. Church domain the purpose of the church domain is to identify christians who will promote the kingdom of god within the city by partnering with their home congregation, encouraging their home congregation to partner with other congregations in tangible ways, and aligning with jesus' john 17 prayer for the church in Tucson. During 2022, 4tucson leadership invited church leaders to gather at events called "we're all ears: church listening sessions." There were four sessions, with a total of 29 attendants, during the year. These gatherings were a time of listening, inviting Tucson church leaders to share their advice on how 4tucson could better serve them and their missions more effectively.
