Unity Works – Training and Coaching

Through Unity Works training workshops and long-term coaching relationships, concerned individuals, groups, and organizations can learn more about asset-based community development and how to apply ABCD principles in their own context.

Embrace Richmond offers basic ABCD training twice a year. One of these programs is designed for congregational leaders who are seeking to move their congregation beyond providing emergency relief and towards addressing the underlying issues of poverty in the city of Richmond.

For community based leaders who want to become an agent of blessing in their own community, Embrace Richmond offers training opportunities to learn basic ABCD principles as well as how to use community development practices to mobilize their neighbors to work towards the common good.

Community Development Coaching: Through intentional coaching relationships, Embrace Richmond staff mentor community partners in how to apply ABCD principles in their local context. Each mentoring relationship is unique and designed to meet the needs of the community partner and their respective community.
