The Asset-Based Community Development Institute

The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute focuses on empowering communities by identifying and utilizing their existing strengths and resources, rather than solely addressing deficits or needs. This approach encourages local residents to discover their skills, relationships, and assets to foster personal and community growth. By engaging individuals and organizations within the community, the ABCD Institute promotes sustainable development through collaboration and resourcefulness. This method cultivates a sense of ownership and pride among community members, leading to more resilient and self-sufficient neighborhoods.
