5 Building Blocks for Community Change
Are you passionate about transforming your community and creating lasting, positive change? At the LIFT Conference, we believe that "business as justice" is a powerful model for achieving this goal. But what exactly does "business as justice" entail? It's more than just running a business; it's about building a foundation for a healthy, thriving community.
Here are some essential components:
Understanding Community Needs: It starts with a group of people that see and understand the community's needs. This involves truly listening to the voices within the community and identifying the areas where support and development are most needed.
A Compelling Vision: A clear vision is crucial for guiding your efforts. This involves envisioning a better future for the community and setting ambitious yet achievable goals.
A Sustainable Business Model: A viable business model is essential for creating lasting change. Attendees at the LIFT Conference will get to see examples in action.
Access to Financing: Financing is often a significant hurdle for community projects. Jamé Bolds, one our WI+H Conference speaker will share alternatives to traditional financing, equipping leaders with strategies for sustainable impact.
A Strategic Plan: Finally, you need a plan and the skills and tools to execute the plan. This involves developing a detailed roadmap for achieving your vision and equipping your team with the necessary resources. The WI+H Movement provides the support and tools for this, you’ll learn more about how at the conference!
By focusing on these key components, you can help build a permanent foundation for a healthy community.
