Strategies

We have identified five strategies that are intended to guide our actions so that we can make our vision of a preferred future a reality. Each of our programs has been aligned with at least one of these strategies, thereby making each program's purpose and direction clear in the larger scheme.

• Agency:
  Become an innovative, respected and inspiring leader in building our community's capacity.
• Leadership:
  Build a diverse group of leaders from within the community who are committed to ending poverty.
• Resources:
  Build community capacity so all people have sufficient resources for a healthy, active life.
• Education:
  Develop community and agency capacity to assure all people have the education and skills necessary to achieve future success.
• Relationships:
  Build relationships across all sectors of the community to facilitate ending poverty.
  

We are currently in the process of developing activities, work plans and budgets for each of these strategies. Some of the strategies present new territory to us or are very challenging - or both. Others we have been slowly working on since the inception of our agency, but can now hone to a fine point.
