“ In this book and DVD, Mike Green and Henry Moore point the way toward creating a powerful citizen-centered local democracy that solves problems, welcomes all neighbors and creates a community of genuine care. Following their path will also lead to the discovery of our personal capacity to renew our own lives by connecting ourselves to the riches that surround us. We are, after all, not people half full. We are a people whose cup runs over. Because Mike and Henry see this so clearly, they are wonderful guides to rediscovering the assets that we can use as we grow powerful as citizens, and our democracy comes alive again. “

Community Partnerships That Work For Stronger Communities

How does a community start to move toward a wider circle of people working together to address problems and realize goals? Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a powerful approach to community development that will focus your effort on discovering and mobilizing the resources that are already present in a community. “Assets” are resources that become valuable when they are made productive. ABCD makes visible and concrete the basic structure for building a strong community. It comes from three interconnected activities: discovering local assets, connecting these local assets to work together, and then creating opportunities where these assets can be productive and powerful together (power meaning the ability to act effectively). When a group of people discover what they have they find power. When people join together in new connections and relationships they build power. When people become more productive together, they exercise their power to address problems and realize dreams. Together we are better.
