Welcome to
Sustainable Alamance
A Christian Community Development Initiative
The sustainability dialog has to be expanded beyond windmills and solar panels to include the human resource.    Can you have a sustainable community model if thousands of your citizens are effectively prohibited for participating in the local economy?   We at Sustainable Alamance believe the answer is "No!"

 

Vision - Dream 

 

To build a stronger and more sustainable community not only by promoting wise use of local natural and economic resources, but by identifying, developing and including underutilized human resources that are effectively prevented from participating in the local economy.

 

Mission - Purpose
 
To connect those members of the community facing employment discrimination to local economic resources by:


• Identifying and nurturing members of the community with a strong desire for self-sufficiency

• Providing mentoring relationships necessary to identify and develop strong work skills, interpersonal skills, and educational opportunities
• Identifying and developing entrepreneurial capacity within the targeted community
• Developing mutually beneficial relationships with local employers that will provide employment opportunities
• Rebuilding and strengthening  family relationships, socially and economically
• Providing programs and services that serve as alternatives to incarceration, minimizing the impact on families, communities and society
• Advocating for anti-discrimination policies that limit abilities for citizens to become economically sustainable
