Center for Whole Communities

We envision a future where movements for racial, social, and environmental justice are rooted in relationship, reciprocity, authenticity, and beauty.

While much of our work will be funded by fee for service, we will still continue to pursue philanthropic support. If you are interested and able to donate in support of our transition and ongoing work, here is the link: https://t.co/wpIKMD12KZ

We will have more to share with you all as we continue to introduce our transition and our collective over the coming weeks. We are currently composed of 8 collective members and will partner with our large network of alumni, supporters and friends.

It is in this spirit that we would like to invite you all to read or listen to one of our Collective’s members, Samara Gaev as she gives voice to the tender reality of what it’s like to bring young ones into this world in a time of conflict, trauma, and chaos.

And we are thrilled to announce that we have determined that to embody the values we teach and facilitate, CWC must evolve its organizational structure and funding model. To do this, we are transitioning from a traditional, ED-driven model into a horizontal collective model.

Though our online presence might have been relatively quiet of late, we are excited to come out of our shell. Center For Whole Communities has been undergoing a dramatic transition over the course of the past year.

Delma reflects on 2022, from Baldwin to Butler: “Tolerance, like any aspect of peace, is forever a work in progress, never completed, and, if we're as intelligent as we like to think we are, never abandoned.” - Octavia Butler. https://t.co/Jp8P5hCXkG
