| REAP strives to link communities and their leaders to the wealth of
information and resources available to make local community and
economic development efforts succeed. REAP values an asset based
approach to development that helps communities assess and utilize their
own resources including local persons, groups, organizations, and
businesses and then helps connect community leaders working on REAP
projects to outside resources at the county, state, and federal level
when needed. All of REAP's initiatives are built on partnerships and
include connections to other resources. The Community Networking
Workshops held periodically foster peer-to-peer learning by gathering
REAP related groups and project leaders together to share success and
challenges as they plan and implement their own projects. |
