Training to Strengthen Communities

Embrace provides training to institutional partners in how to strengthen communities from the inside out using our “Empowered Communities Model” of engagement.

The Empowered Communities Model is a framework designed to build a multi-sector network of institutional partners. These partners commit to developing the internal capacity of communities by investing in existing and emerging community leaders of all ages. The model utilizes Asset Based Community Development best practices as defined by the Asset Based Community Development Institute and is informed by more than twenty years of practice in the Greater Richmond Region.

We offer both in-person and virtual training options.

Community Based Organizations & Associations

This training is designed for community-based organizations and civic association leaders who seek to mobilize community residents for a community-defined purpose. This training is specifically designed to help grassroots and place based organizations and civic associations identify and mobilize community members in a way that leads to the development of a shared community vision and action teams designed to bring that vision to life.
