Community Strengths helps communities solve complex issues and capture emerging opportunities. We use transformative theories and practices based upon non-violent social change, dialogue and connection, and collective learning to support communities in their work. We use strategies that help community members create real change in their communities that meet everyone's needs.

Community Strengths works with communities who come together to provide vital supports and opportunities that increase protective factors and help support resilience and positive human development throughout the lifespan.

We start with a foundation of beliefs and core values.

• Belief in human resilience
• Strengths-based
• Rooted in relationship (social capital, connection)
• Cultural relevance
• Inclusion (cultural, generational)
• Engagement and active participation
• Partnership and collaboration
