Create strong communities nationwide, and in the process, change the way the United States approaches poverty to a whole-system approach that reflects shared responsibility, action, and benefits among all sectors of society. If our vision is realized, we will see:
- Communities across the country creating conditions that maximize the potential for all residents to prosper.
- The momentum from a nation of communities engaging in successful whole-system planning and action creating a societal view that reducing poverty and creating prosperous conditions for all is:
- A systemic issue in which everyone has a stake and a role in solving,
- A way to truly embody the principles upon which the nation is founded,
- A way to ensure sustainable national prosperity and security,
- An exercise in developing self-sustaining conditions at the individual, family, community, and societal levels,
- A win-win for society, institutions, and individuals, and
- A way to create conditions that encourage continued innovation, economic growth, strong relationships, non-violence, health and harmony.
- National strategies and policies changing to create and support conditions for all residents to prosper.
Prosperous Communities, Prosperous Nation engages communities nationwide in whole-system planning and action to create increasingly prosperous conditions for their residents. We use the Future Search methodology, which has been proven to create high commitment to implementation and produce successful outcomes in communities across the globe. We leverage all participating communities' work toward national planning and action by engaging policy makers in the community-level planning and in additional policy-level planning that focuses on creating the enabling conditions for our nation's communities.
