Empowering Local Communities: Cor's Vision for Building Stronger Leadership Capacity Introduction: At Cor, our vision is centered on empowering low and middle-income congregation members and neighbors to actively engage in decision-making processes within their local governing bodies. We firmly believe that by uniting ordinary individuals, who serve as the primary stakeholders in their communities, we can drive institutional change and enhance the overall conditions for families residing in these areas. Enhancing Leadership Capacity: One of our primary goals at Cor is to foster and develop the leadership capacity of individuals residing within low and middle-income communities. By offering comprehensive training programs and resources, we aim to equip these community members with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively participate in decision-making processes within local governing bodies. Through building a stronger leadership capacity, we believe this will serve as a catalyst for positive change within their communities. Encouraging Community Collaboration: Another key aspect of our mission is to promote and encourage community collaboration. We recognize that by bringing together a diverse range of voices and perspectives, community members can collectively advocate for their interests and bring about meaningful institutional changes. Cor actively works to facilitate platforms and spaces for community members to network, collaborate, and amplify their voices, ensuring that decisions made by local governing bodies truly reflect the needs and aspirations of the community as a whole. Institutional Change for Community Improvement: At Cor, we firmly believe that institutional change is crucial for improving the overall conditions within low and middle-income communities. By actively engaging with local governing bodies, we aim to influence policies that directly impact the lives of community members. Cor advocates for and supports initiatives that address the pressing social issues faced by these communities, ultimately striving for sustainable improvements that positively impact the lives of families within these areas. Conclusion: Cor's mission revolves around building stronger leadership capacity within low and middle-income communities, empowering community members to actively participate in decision-making processes that shape their future. Through fostering community collaboration and advocating for institutional change, we aim to create lasting improvements in the conditions of these communities, enhancing the lives of families and fostering a sense of empowerment and ownership amongst community members.
