Home The Madii Institute works to build capacity and strengthen communities at the intersections where people meet people and people interact in community. Connections, communications and collaboration link people with people, and people with with their communities. These three C s hold true for every kind of community from a small town to a big city, or from a non-profit organization to a Fortune 100 business. The vitality of any community grows from, depends on, builds from, and is created through the patterns of interaction among the people in it. Communities are formed by people connecting with each other where they live, where they work, where they play, where they share on-line experiences, or where they share common interests, experiences or resources.
People connect through their conversations and experiences with one another.
They create a sense of community as they weave together both individual and mutual benefits from these connections. The Madii Institute works at these intersections and helps communities weave futures from their assets. We conduct workshops and seminars, provide technical assistance, conduct research, and publish resources for communities seeking to rediscover their path to community. After many requests, the Madii Institute will be publishing our methods of asset mapping in a set of new resources. This is reportedly one of the largest asset mapping efforts ever as over 30 neighborhood organizations embark on their asset mapping journey.
