Communities across the country face complex challenges that cannot be solved through reports alone. While research, planning documents, and community meetings can provide valuable insights, lasting change requires something more. It requires systems, partnerships, and infrastructure that allow communities to shape their own future.
IncludUs is a national nonprofit dedicated to building that infrastructure. Working alongside local governments, community organizations, and residents, the organization helps communities strengthen civic participation, economic opportunity, well-being, and climate resilience.
At the center of this work is Community Engineering™, a model built on the belief that the people closest to a problem are best positioned to design the solution.
This article explores how IncludUs uses Community Engineering™ to help communities build lasting power and create systems that continue delivering impact long after a project is complete.
