Strong Partnerships Pave the Path to Community Transformation

Cooperation

Volunteers are the engine of community change

Communities throughout the country are in dire need of a makeover around how they work together. Successful community change requires close cooperation between civic leaders, non-profit organizations, businesses and community members.

However, creating and realizing a shared vision for a community can be fraught with pitfalls, red tape, and political self-interests.
