What is ABCD?

ABCD stands for Asset Based Community Development. This is a philosophy of creating community by focusing on strengths. Here are some of the values that we hold as an organization that uses ABCD.

Start with gifts, and build relationships for mutual support. Value small, grassroots, and community-driven efforts. Nurture community member-led action and work towards equity and justice. Believe in possibility, lead by stepping back, and include everyone.
