Bio
Progressive Communities is an organization began by a community organizer Charles Esibikhwa Edward who is humbled to create a team that facilitates a program on Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and PCP (personal centered practices) which emphasizes on
Strengths, connections, citizen leadership and its recognition that individual gifts become powerful when they are connected together.
Progressive Communities roots emanate from solid appreciation of the unique strengths and innovation that becomes possible when citizens, governments, businesses and non-profit organizations work collaboratively to realize bold futures for communities. It has been our experience; communities that collaborate are more successful at addressing complex issues like poverty, equity, and community safety and community well-being because they are able to harness the talents, knowledge and strengths of diverse perspectives.
OUR USE of ABCD APPROACHES
Our philosophy is one that recognizes that genuine, sustainable change happens only when it comes from within an individual (PCP) and within a community (ABCD). This recognition motivates us to strategize in a way that promotes connections, empowerment and a networking community.
