What is the Center for Community Growth?
The
Center for Community Growth (The Center) is a re-emergence of a membership
organization created in the 1990’s to unite people in Indiana County, Pennsylvania
who believe in progressive democratic principles, non-violence, and civic
engagement and want to work collaboratively on those issues locally, regionally
and globally.
The
Center fosters collaborations between organizations through educational events,
such as our recent Building Change in Indiana
conference this past spring which brought together 22 social service and
advocacy organizations to identify ways to work together, and add value to
their work in the community through collaborative projects. This summer The
Center is launching a non-partisan voter education initiative throughout Indiana County through food banks.
Our
mission is to build support for community minded individuals and organizations
in and around Indiana
County who are actively
working to improve the livelihoods of residents by addressing issues of social,
economic, racial, and environmental justice. The Center actively engages people
of diverse philosophies, faiths, and backgrounds to work together to form a
more fair, equitable, and sustainable community.
