About

The aim of the monthly Asset-Based Community Development Community of Practice (ABCD CoP) is to go deeper on ABCD practice and explore helpful tools and resources by bringing together practitioners and residents who are are applying or are seeking to apply an ABCD approach to their community development work.

This CoP series will build on learning and experiences from the 2018 ABCD Kitchener Workshop and support participants and their colleagues to take their learning further, highlight practices and/or stories of success, and build capacity amongst peers.
