Community Education
The Asset Based Community Development model adopted by Whatcom Dream is centered around the idea that a healthy and sustainable community requires collaboration from all community members for a community to thrive.
By understanding each other, we can communicate, operate, and help in ways that lift all individuals and the community as a whole.
Financial Resources are only ONE type of resource needed for a successful community. In order to have a healthy, sustainable community, there must be a continual flow of resources to bridge the gap between economic classes.
Resources include:
-
Emotional
-
Mental
-
Spiritual
-
Physical
-
Support systems
-
Relationships and role models
-
Knowledge of hidden rules of economic class or group
The Poverty Simulation and Poverty IQ Workshop we offer provides the public with a better understanding of the experiences, values, resources, and vocabulary of those living in poverty.
