Connecting Communities in Asset-Based Community Recovery

Connecting Communities in Asset-based Community Recovery

Building Community

Connecting Communities in Asset-based Community Recovery is a collection of resources developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic presented some really difficult challenges, but it also revealed some opportunities for building better systems and communities.

Inspired by the Asset-based Community Recovery (ABCR) Framework developed by Jonatham Massimi and Heather Keam, the OneOp Network Literacy team created the resources below to help us recognize those opportunities and take action to create a more resilient future for ourselves and our communities.
