Our Community Agreements

Community Agreements

Community agreements are a powerful strategy for uniting a group. Agreements come from a consensus-driven process to identify what every person in the group needs from each other and commits to each other to feel safe, supported, open and trusting. As such, they provide a common approach for how people will work and be together as they take transformational action.
