All About ABCD
What is ABCD and how does it effect the community? Read all about it below!
What is ABCD?
ABCD stands for Asset Based Community Development.
Gifts.
Each person has their own set of strengths and passions. These strengths and passions are called their gifts. Your gift can be difficult to recognize, but we all have one!
Community.
ABCD, simply put, is an approach focused on community building and development.
Your Gift.
Not sure what your gift is?
Tip: If you had to teach one person or a group of people something what would it be? Why?
The People.
This approach is centred around the people within the community. The idea here is that the people make the community.
Connecting.
Connecting these gifts to other people, groups, and organizations is the main part of this process. This step supports the development of the community.
