Our Approach

People, organizations, and institutions intentionally connected and working together to create communities that thrive—socially, economically, and civically.

How We Operate

1. Robust engagement that brings people together to build trust, mutual support, accountability, and sense of belonging in their community so that they are willing to incite change in their own lives and the life of their community.
2. Opportunity Circles, where small groups of people are engaged in social, economic and/or civic projects where personal and community assets are activated to address pressing challenges faced by our community.
3. Opportunity Networks, powered by "demand driven" connections between people and anchor institutions that create new momentum and results that contributing to inclusive local economies and vibrant communities.

Grounding Principles:

People who have strong connections and who are a part of diverse networks are healthier, more economically secure, and participate more fully in community life.

The small group is the basic unit for creating momentum that can move families and communities from vulnerability to strength.

Power is infinite.

Love must precede truth-telling.

Co-ownership and co-investment, first requires co-creation.

Our diversity is a strength that ignites innovative solutions that contribute to thriving neighborhoods, inclusive local economies, and a representative public square.
