Growth Starts Within

 

Open Arms Community Leaders Inc. knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. In 2020, our organization realized that by working together, we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch our nonprofit organization.

Community: Our Philosophy
Team Building Session

Communities are comprised of individuals with unique qualities and attributes.  In order to build strong communities, each individual must focus on and strengthen self which includes mind, body, and spirit.

PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

COMMUNITY ATTRIBUTES

Individuals within a community make up the fabric of that community.  The characteristics and essence of a community lies within its foundation and the growth and development of a community lies with its members. As the essence of individuals is mind, body, and spirit; there is also a mind, body, and spirit essence of a community. Open Arms Community Leaders is an organization that functions as a community to promote community wellness.

We love unconditionally as we transform ourselves from the inside, out. All are welcome!

Community Development

Spirit

​

Most of our efforts pertaining to our organization involve supporting values of development in communities.  We believe that all members of a community must first positively transform themselves in order to have a positive, lasting impact on their communities. Our efforts entail working with other organizations to ensure the basic needs of all

members are met and there is equal opportunity for education and individual potentiality.
