Our Approach
Here at ReGen, we use an asset-based community development approach to create innovative and tailored solutions for the individuals and communities we serve. Our engagement approach is what allows for adoption and acceptance of our solutions. We focus on understanding the issue enough to create solutions.
Step 1: Asset Mapping
We start by looking at everything that the neighborhood has to offer. Within an area, there are many aspects that need to be identified and described before we can fully understand what can be utilized to create a solution.
Step 2: Challenges and Opportunities
Once the asset mapping is complete, we look at our map and decide what issues are most pressing to the community. Every community has its strengths and weaknesses, and we take a whole-community approach in order to figure out how to utilize the strengths to solve the challenges and create opportunities.
Step 3: Community Engagement
This step is the core of ReGen itself. Here at ReGen, we are all about community. We use this step to look at subcommunities within the community, see what the community needs to solve the issue, and what we can integrate into the community. We want to help as many people as possible and bring them together.
Step 4: The Data
Lastly, we collect, analyze, and synthesize data to decide how to execute these community-centered initiatives. The concrete information allows us to create measurable impacts that fit within the scope and needs of our community at hand.
