This event is presented by the Tamarack Institute
As the Tamarack Institute's final workshop of the year, this is your last chance to join Heather Keam and Wendy McCaig for Asset-Based Community Development 101.
# Participants will dive into:
- ABCD as a people-centered approach, focusing on strengths and not deficits or needs to develop programs and plans.
- Resources in a community, uncovering the six assets or resources that communities have that are used to enhance local well-being.
- Methods to find assets, since ABCD approaches are iterative and emergent.
- The seven functions of a community, which are critical features of local, natural community work. They are bottom-up, hyper-local, and citizen-led.
This workshop is geared towards those who are new to ABCD or those seeking a refresher, considering the significant evolution ABCD has undergone in the last decade.
