Our Vision
A Wholistic Approach.
The Grove Projects, Inc., focuses on wholistic community revitalization that considers the spirit, soul, and body of the individual, and the ecosystem of the community. Our community revitalization efforts include engaging local, state, and federal government for impactful changes, developing and advocating for affordable housing, healthy food systems, education, economic revitalization, neighborhood beautification, and active community listening and engagement.
The mission of our advocacy group:
The Grove Projects, Inc., mission is to understand system wellness and create more favorable community conditions by considering the whole person, to rebuild and revitalize communities.
Who The Grove Project represents:
The nonprofit represents under-resourced individuals, families, groups, or community members who demonstrate a tangible need and a willingness to actively participate in implementing solutions.
Advocacy strategies The Grove Projects uses and why they are successful:
Our advocacy strategies are successful because we quantify success one relationship at a time. We are actively present in the community, and host open-space community forums that provide a safe, encouraging space for community members to share ideas, ask questions, and find solutions to problems. Then, using an appreciative intelligence approach, we use the gathered data to implement steps to deploy solutions that have a positive outcome. We create synergy through collaboration with organizations and individuals, thus expanding available resource bases. We also create community events and participate in established community events to develop a network of creative relationships.
