“Building Beautiful Minds”
Beautiful people have beautiful minds that nurture, sustain and help the community grow. Beautiful minds enable people to create beautiful results for themselves and the community they live in.
In these challenging times our biggest asset is the minds of our people. The need of the moment is to develop Beautiful Minds to enable us to build strong, caring and sharing communities. This program goes beyond simply wishing that someone should do something to help our communities. It empowers our people to excel in this world and become agents of change by helping them dream the possibilities and then enabling them to contribute towards making a difference.

Peace Work that Makes a Difference
Everybody wants a peaceable home, neighborhood, city, and world.  How can we ground our work for peace in a theory of change?  What can we do that will ensure our efforts make a difference?  What do we need to know?  Who needs to be involved for it to work?  Work sheets will be distributed for participants to use and keep.
