CONNECTING COMMUNITY: WE BELIEVE THRIVING AND EQUITABLE COMMUNITIES CAN EXIST WHEN WE TAP INTO THE RESILIENCY AND LEADERSHIP OF THE FAMILIES WITH WHOM WE WORK. WE FOCUS ON CONNECTING OUR FAMILIES TO EACH OTHER AS WELL AS OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS. IN THIS WAY, WE CREATE A FOUNDATION WHERE EVERYONE SHARES IN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SOLVING COMMUNITY PROBLEMS AND CREATING SUSTAINABLE OUTCOMES FOR ALL. MANY FAMILIES WHO ARE CURRENTLY RECEIVING SERVICES AND HAVE PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED SERVICES FROM GROWING HOME ARE ENGAGING IN COLLECTIVE ACTION TO IMPROVE THEIR COMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, MANY HAVE THE DESIRE TO GIVE BACK BY VOLUNTEERING AND SHARING THEIR OWN KNOWLEDGE. WE CONNECT COMMUNITY THROUGH COMMUNITY ORGANIZING, ADVOCACY, AND VOLUNTEERISM.
