Animator Networks
Community Animator Network
The Community Animator Network (CAN) trains individuals in Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and teaches them how to utilize the ABCD framework to create sustainable change in neighborhoods and communities that are grounded in existing strengths. CAN is a 12-week program that pays you to become a Community Animator and create change right where you live in as little as 5 hours a week. We have multiple cohorts throughout the year and would love for you to join one!
Faith-Based Animator Network
The Faith-Based Animator Network (FAN) is a 14-week, paid program designed for individuals and congregations that develops strengths-based leadership skills through Asset-Based Community Development. FAN enables you to discover where God is already at work in your neighborhood and community and how to utilize those gifts to create positive change right where you live. We have several cohorts each year and invite you and your congregation to join one!
We Care Initiative
We Care ICT
We are on a mission to have 80,000 Wichitans commit to being a good neighbor. Being a good neighbor is simple, and everyone can participate - no experience or training is required! All you have to do is meet the neighbors closest to you, identify their unique skills and talents, and start engaging with them regularly. These simple steps help us all be active, caring, and responsible neighbors and community members, working together to build thriving communities right in our backyard. Be part of the movement today!
