Program accomplishments
- In 2025, Suburban Balance held numerous educational forums centered around topics such as economic inclusion as a pathway to health equity, educational equity, race relations, college, and career education, and the importance of voting, voter education skilled trades, workforce development, certification programs, mentorship and it's benefits on health, advancing economic mobility. These non-partisan forums were held to build positive relationships with the surrounding communities and school districts, and to also learn about school boards and mayoral candidates running for elected offices. A "Get out the Vote Educational Rally" was held and provided information on voter registration, voting deadlines, polling stations, sample ballots, a plan to vote, and an opportunity to hear from the candidates during the non-Partisan candidate forum. Suburban Balance also launched an event that focused on mental health and building generational wealth. This initiative was launched through the educational programs called LIFT HIM UP and LIFT HER UP for girls. In 2025, Suburban Balance hosted the "Lift Her Up" Event which is an inspirational and uplifting program that recognizes the scarifies of essential workers, women leaders and trailblazers in the Kansas City community.
