Your Voice, Our Community
Su Voz, Nuestra Comunidad

Several people are painting a colorful mural on the sidewalk next to a busy street with cars passing by. Traffic cones and signs are placed around the work area, and the sky is clear.

What do you love about our neighborhood? What needs to change? What are your dreams for the future of South Nashville?

At Cosecha, we believe that the people who live, work, and raise families along the Nolensville Pike corridor are the real experts on what this community needs. That is why we are launching a 6-month strategic planning process to build our community-led roadmap for 2027–2030.

By the end of this year, your insights will help us clearly map our neighborhood's strengths, refine our vision for the corridor, and establish the strategic priorities that will guide Cosecha’s programs and decisions for years to come.

We cannot do this without you. Here are two ways you can share your voice today:

Two: Join an In-Person Listening Session

We are hosting a series of small, relaxed community listening sessions throughout July, August, and early September. Come enjoy a full meal, meet your neighbors, and talk about our hopes for the neighborhood.

To ensure everyone can participate fully, we’ll be providing childcare, a meal, and provide interpretation in various languages.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Each listening session will include a few volunteers or staff from Cosecha, plus 12-20 community members. We’ll ask open ended questions with no right or wrong answer; we just want to learn from our community.

  • We’re looking to hear about what you love about our community, what troubles is you, what we’re missing, and what you already know about Cosecha (if anything).

  • Anyone who lives or works in South Nashville! We’re looking for people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, languages, and faith backgrounds to tell us about their experience in our community.

  • We’ll provide childcare for any child who is potty trained to 12 years old. We’ll have one experienced, vetted childcare provider and one volunteer with the children at all times.
