Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)

Our Approach

We begin by asking a different question: not “What’s wrong?” but “What strengths already exist, and how can we build on them?” Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) is a practical framework that starts with the assets already present in a community—its people, organizations, institutions, local economies, and stories—and connects them in new ways to create lasting change.
