Our Strategies

The approach we take to community-driven solutions is rooted in Human Centered Design Thinking. In other words, we listen a lot. That said, we do have some specific strategies that we hold closely to in each and every area of our collective work through this unique alliance.

Where we focus

While the alliance that is the Westside Collaborative, is open to any nonprofits in ANY location, the only requirement is that they are working in ways that make significant and intentional impact on the lives of our residential Westside Neighborhoods. While the work we do requires flexibility, we do our best to help stakeholders understand our boundaries as provided by the Community Research Institute through the Johnson Center and Grand Valley State University.
