MODEL

Our approach is unique in that we do not start with the issues we want to address – we start by building relationships with people who are differently-minded and like-hearted. In other words, we seek shared values and different perspectives. From there, we identify common ground and take bold action together.

​

This model is a combination of asset-based community development, the broad-based relational model, and wisdom from our own experience.

​

The following steps and practices will happen concurrently:
