Unlocking community potential, fostering vibrant connections, and catalyzing transformative action. Most philanthropic efforts are focused on relief or charity to support people in crisis.
However, without a vision for more than relief, these efforts can become enabling and paternalistic over time. We believe that transforming communities is a collaborative effort. Development is a process of ongoing change that moves all the people involved β both the helpers and the helped β closer to being in right relationship with God, self, others, and the rest of creation.
Our communities grapple with challenges such as poverty, injustice, and oppression. Identify assets and potentials within communities, recognizing the unique strengths of each individual and organization. We bring people and organizations together to see that we are better in collaboration.
We believe that social connections must be built on mutual benefit that hold up our communities in deep, meaningful ways. We believe that real transformation is catalyzed by equipping our local communities with tools and resources to experience long-term sustainability for collective impact. Through tailored trainings, tools, coaching and capacity building programs the CCT fosters deep impact in communities to help individuals and organizations take action. Solving community problems isn't easy and so it's important to note and celebrate successes and milestones along the way!
This philosophy is rooted in the understanding. Please watch this video and read. At the Center for Community Transformation CCT , we believe that equipping young entrepreneurs with the tools to succeed is a powerful way to address systemic.
