about Our Work

"The single most effective tool we can build is a tight-knit community, bound by trust, clear-eyed, courageous and humble. Such a thing cannot be planned for and will never be implemented by experts and with money. Such a thing is woven from what is at hand, slowly and with care, by the people in a place."

- Brad Kik, Crosshatch Co-Founder and Co-Director
