Mission

History

RiverWise seeks to organize community power and voice so that all people, organizations, and communities in Beaver County can thrive. RiverWise envisions Beaver County as a place where individuals, organizations, and communities have the skills, relationships, and resources required to create the kinds of communities in which they wish to live. We value networks over individuals. We value the future over an idealized past. We value freedom over control. We value wisdom over experience. We value solutions over problems. And we value action over perfection.

RiverWise exists to reclaim community power over the future of Beaver County, Pennsylvania. We do this through community informed storytelling, the management of catalytic projects and partnerships, and by providing technical assistance to individuals, organizations, and collaborations who are committed to returning decision making power to residents of Beaver County.
