Description
Become believes that even though marginalized communities may face deep struggle, they also have profound resilience and resources with much potential. We work to build thriving communities by inspiring and synergizing the people and institutions in communities. We work with those resources to improve their effectiveness and bring them together for greater impact. We offer Dynamic Evaluation, which builds the capacity of both the community members and organizations to assess and improve themselves. This evaluation is a process of coming together, learning, and amplifying the impact of programs, organizations, and leaders. We bring people and organizations together in coalitions to more strongly advocate for themselves and build social cohesion for a vibrant and thriving community.
