Robin Turner

Robin Turner’s leadership journey started early in her life. Her current focus, however, is to enhance her skills and become a more impactful community leader for those she serves. As the Ambassador/Community Leader for the West 73rd Safety Coalition, she facilitates activities centered on building teams, developing relationships, empowering and encouraging others and enlightening a diverse population on the notion that developing a sense of community allows you to build a family within multiple families. Robin researched and developed one of the first community gardens on Dearborn Avenue. She envisions the garden as a space for community organizing, crime prevention, cultural opportunities, youth programs, food production, health, wellness and enjoyment. Robin is a humanitarian dedicated to promoting the human welfare and dignity of others.  She earned an associate’s degree from Urbana University, and a BA in Sociology and a Certificate in Chemical Dependency Counseling (CDCA) from Cleveland State University, where she is pursuing a master’s degree in psychology with a concentration in Diversity Management.
