Our Community architecture is the basis on which our work is built. Circle of Hands supports community and youth leaders in rural development, and sustainability efforts at entrepreurship. Our youth leaders and adults work as partners to examine community resources, develop a community vision, and take action to create meaningful change, in an adaptable approach to community building. We develop tools and strategies for engaging youths and adults as partners in creating positive change in their communities. Our community architecture focuses on these core principles:
- Recognize assets within individuals, groups and communities
- Foster equal partnerships between youths and adults
- Utilize local resources
- Diagonize community issues
