Community

Have you ever asked yourself why some communities seem to attract more resources than others? Do you know what employers and investors look for before engaging in a community partnership?

Cooperative Change can find ways to empower your community through relationships with these groups. We help you leverage resources through corporations and government bodies to increase your existing social assets.

For Cooperative Change, consultation is the starting point for partnerships through community engagement. Before embarking on a community project, we use methodologies such as ‘Future Search’ to explore your community’s aspirations and work out a collaborative future.

We then look at building capacity in your community by identifying your social assets and the ways in which these can be supported and enhanced. This might range from building real skills in people through training and employment, to investing in the current and future leaders of your community.

Finally, we ensure that the investments you and others make in your community are long-lasting and sustainable.
