Core Values

Collective Impact's approach to working with organizations and communities is reflected in our core values. We focus on the strengths of our clients and engage them as partners in the process, recognizing that relationships are paramount. We take a holistic systems approach to working with organizations and communities and customize our services to address the unique challenges, needs, strengths, culture, and resources of each client. We hold honesty and integrity in high regard and are committed to quality and excellence. We have a passion for what we do and find joy in our work.

Collective Impact uses creative and innovative strategies and is committed to continuous learning and growth. We demonstrate the principle of "teaching to fish" rather than "catching the fish," realizing that this principle is essential for long-term success within organizations and communities. We emphasize diversity and inclusiveness, recognizing the value of involving all stakeholders in the process of building successful organizations and communities.

What's New

(See All)

Collective Impact continues to work with Washington Drug and Alcohol Commission (WDAC) and Greene County Drug and Alcohol Program on their problem gambling initiatives. With the increased availability of legalized gambling in Pennsylvania comes increased concern regarding the individual and social costs of problem gambling. The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) is addressing this concern by increasing problem gambling prevention, education and outreach efforts throughout the state. Problem gambling prevention activities are intended to increase awareness of problem gambling within the general public; inform teachers, policy makers, and other professionals about the impact of problem gambling on the family unit, schools and communities; and educate at-risk populations such as college students, youth, and older adults about risk and protective factors in an effort to prevent problem gambling.

Testimonials

"Doing work that changes the circumstances in a community is not only difficult to do, it is also hard to talk about. What is needed to make the change happen? What partners and what activities? What will the change look like? How will we know if we are making progress? These are the questions that our group (professionals working with Community Action Agencies across the country) had at our last annual in-service. Collective Impact was able to clarify the relationships and the dynamics of this community approach so that we left with greater knowledge, increased understanding, and a much better perspective on all the issues. Thanks so much, Bruce!" ~ Barbara Mooney, Director, Association of Nationally Certified ROMA Trainers, Harrisburg, PA
