Cleveland Updates Partner Name for Youth Food Access Program

Cleveland City Council has passed an emergency ordinance, identified as File No. 754-2026, to update the name of a local partner involved in a youth workforce development initiative. The legislation amends a previous ordinance to change the name of "Elements of Internal Movement Eternal Pull Inc." to "Elements of Internal Movement Eternal Pull." This change ensures the official records accurately reflect the organization's name as it participates in city-supported programming.

The name change affects the "Cultivating Cleveland’s Next Generation" (CCNG) program, a youth workforce development project focused on food sovereignty and civic engagement. Under this initiative, the Department of Public Health accepts funds from Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign to support four youth Food Access Navigators. According to the 754-2026-Legislative Summary- No Kid Hungry Grant Amending Name, these navigators are Cleveland youth who use their lived experiences to help connect families to resources like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. The program involves a $24,000 contract running from March 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027, with funds used for wages, food, materials, and management support provided by East 66th Street Services Inc. and Elements of Internal Movement Eternal Pull. Elements of Internal Movement Eternal Pull is a Cleveland-based nonprofit organization focused on human services GetHoldings.

The emergency ordinance has officially passed. Residents can monitor the Department of Public Health's ongoing implementation of the CCNG program to see the scheduled outreach events and connections made with Cleveland families.
