The ABCD Network is comprised of folks who care deeply about resident-centered community development. We have a 30+ year history of supporting local communities to create positive and sustainable change using the skills, assets and talents community members have within their own neighborhoods. The ABCD Network continues to grow and support all types of practitioners in asset-based community development theory and practice; from local grassroots organizations to non-profits, higher education and philanthropy.

ABCDI and our network of ABCD practitioners aim to create a paradigm shift in the way the field of community development operates and centers residents in decision making. We aim to create resilient and thriving communities by teaching local people and organizations how to identify, nurture and mobilize existing community assets and talents for change.
