Involve Everyone

We begin with census data to ensure that each person has the opportunity to take part. Everyone who lives, works, or plays in Rosendale can take part, including businesses and local government.

What Matters Most

Trained community volunteers gather stories and interviews, share them among the community, glean what’s most important, and collect action ideas based on our collective genius.

Play the Long Game

Action ideas are developed into an action plan. Businesses and government are cultivated to help bring the plans to fruition. Citizen stewardship is instituted.
