Hi,
What's the best way to translate "Comité Timón Pro-Ayuda a la Comunidad" in the following context: "De esa reunión surgió el Comité Timón pro-Ayuda a la Comunidad. Le dieron prioridad a conseguir un paso de peatones sobre la carretera."
I considered using "Task Force" or "community committee" but it doesn't seem as idiomatic in American English. This is an excerpt from a book written in Puerto Rican Spanish.
Any help is appreciated,

Community assistance steering committee
Something along these lines should work. I wouldn't bother trying to shoehorn in the egregiously would-be trendy "Pro-" component of the Ayuda (Assistance) part.
"The Steering Committee provides support, guidance and oversight of progress. Members do not usually work on the project themselves. Generally, the Project Manager, and other members of the Project Team, actually do the work implementing the project."

There are also internet community campaigns on environmental and economic issues such as rising costs. Those seek to bring about change by organizing campaigns and petitions.
