WE BELIEVE IN APPALACHIA

Innovative Community Solutons empowers diverse communities to thrive through equitable economic development and inclusive solutions.

We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance. We are committed to building vibrant communities where diversity is celebrated, equity is embedded, and inclusion flourishes.

We achieve our mission by :

  • Investing in underserved communities:  We focus our efforts on areas with the greatest need and potential.

  • Promoting economic opportunity: We provide resources, training, and support to help individuals and businesses thrive.

  • Amplifying diverse voices: We ensure that all perspectives are heard and valued in decision-making.

  • Creating equitable systems: We advocate for policies and practices that promote fairness and access.

  • Celebrating community: We foster a sense of belonging and connection through community engagement.

We are committed to continuous learning and improvement. We recognize that our journey towards a more just and equitable society is ongoing. We strive to learn from our experiences, adapt our strategies, and measure our impact to ensure we are making a real difference.

This mission statement is a call to action. We invite you to join us in building a more equitable and inclusive future for all.

While we cannot conquer the world in a day, we definitely need your partnership and support.  Our impact groups in the Panhandle are generally underserved groups that need the support of community agencies and non-profit organizations like ours.  We work with other local non-profits, Civic Groups and individuals committed to creating a welcoming corner in our neck of Appalachia.

There is no exercise better for the heart than lifting people up.
