Twitter Chat: How to Spark Change with Asset-Based Community Development

When:  Dec 16, 2019 from 02:00 PM to 03:00 PM (ET)
Associated with  NSF INCLUDES National Network
Join the Institute of Museum and Library Services, IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew, and special guests to talk about the collaborative approach that’s been transforming the work of museums and libraries in communities across the country. Asset-based community development (ABCD) asks people and organizations to view problem solving in their community though an “asset” lens, rather than a deficit. It’s a strategy for community-led development that relies on local residents, nonprofits, and governments to create conditions for broad ownership for positive change.

Learn from other organization’s successes and gain valuable tools you can use in your own community, such as logic models, journey maps, and power ladders.Whether you’re new to community work or you’ve been grounding your work in this type of theory of change (PDF) for years, you're welcome to join the conversation. 

Join the conversation to explore together how we can achieve community transformation by combining our efforts. Tune into Twitter on Monday, December 16 from 2:00-3:00 pm ET and use #CommCatalyst
