Employ the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Tool
YOU are the VIP. ALL are Given some measure of Time, Talent, and Treasury. You are Blessed! We encourage you, by example, to Give of your Given blessings for the uplift of yourself and others in your community.
The ABCD Core Group, a collaborative partner, is missioned to show you how.
Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)
VetVest Group, LLC IS TEMPORARILY HOSTING THIS PROJECT.
Everyone has gifts. Each person in a community has something to contribute.
Relationships build a community: People must be connected in order for sustainable community development to take place.
Citizens at the center: Citizens should be viewed as actors—not recipients—in development.
The ABCD Group is a Steering Committee embracing the above acknowledgement and restates that truth as follows:
Everyone has Time, Talent, and Treasury (more than just currency; it could be character, morality, or principals that an individual values). A key point, however, is the Giving of these valuable, and Given, individual commodities (Gifts) in exchange for the betterment (development) of the community for ALL.
The goal, therefore, is to strive for "a more perfect union..." in communities that are impacted by disparities in the Wealth Gap and to to provide resources like Access to Capital, financial education, support services, and traditional and non-traditional opportunities to Narrow that Wealth Gap.
Financial Literacy and Support Services
Community Health, Wealth & Well-Being Depends on Our Financial Literacy
Introducing our newest collaborative association: New Horizons Community Development Corp (NHCDC) - Not-for-Profit entity (Applied for IRS Determination 3/23- Pending). VetVest Group is TEMPORARILY Hosting this site as a collaborative partner.
It is the opinion of many experts and lay persons that Financial Education is unevenly provided in our American Education Systems. For example, urban schools may, more or less, offer Financial Literacy; Councilors may encourage some students and not others; and parents or mentors may, or may not, insist on financial responsibility. Commercial outlets, especially television, encourages spend-spend and live NOW and pay later by the swipe of an easily obtainable card. Many are consumed in debt.
NOW, how to exit from debt and acquire wealth becomes an issue. Consider those who may have a few thousand dollars of debt and first, only consider bankruptcy as a solution. They have not considered paying a little more on principal, consumer credit counseling, or bill consolidation if they have assets.
