Banyan Community Intro

Banyan Community is rooted in the Phillips neighborhood to transform lives by developing youth, strengthening families, and creating community. Banyan believes that when youth, family, and community are synchronized the greatest progress is made on education and poverty. We utilize an asset-based approach to community development. This stands in sharp contrast to a deficit and liabilities approach, one where everything is broken. Experts define community development as a process that fosters “capacity building both inside and outside of neighborhood boundaries which produces assets that improve the quality of life for neighborhood residents.”
