Who We Are
A stronger Gwinnett starts with people working together.
For more than 35 years, Gwinnett Coalition has brought together nonprofits, schools, healthcare providers, businesses, faith communities, and public agencies to strengthen the systems that support children, families, and communities across Gwinnett County.
We identify community needs, connect partners, and work together to find solutions that improve health and well-being across Gwinnett County. As a nonprofit backbone organization and community collaborative, we work to improve health equity, strengthen mental and behavioral health, and develop the nonprofit workforce so residents have better access to the care, support, and resources they need to thrive.
Together, we are building a healthier, more resilient Gwinnett.
Our work
Health equity

Mental & behavioral health
Helping children, families, and communities build resilience.
We lead trauma-informed and resilience-focused initiatives that help children, families, educators, and community leaders build stronger, healthier communities.

We strengthen Gwinnett’s nonprofit sector through collaboration, training, networking, and shared resources that help organizations better serve the community.
Our vision
An equitable, resilient, and healthy Gwinnett.
Our mission
To advance equity and community well-being.
How We Work
No single organization can meet every need in our growing community. We use the collective impact model to address complex health and social challenges that no single organization can solve alone. By convening partners across sectors, building trust, aligning goals, and measuring progress, we help coordinate solutions that address root causes and drive lasting change.
Creating a healthier, more resilient, and more equitable Gwinnett requires the active participation and partnership of many groups dedicated to prioritizing the health and well-being of all. We bring people, organizations, and systems together to turn that vision into action.
Working together makes a difference.
