Facilitating Collaborative Solutions to Shared Challenges of the
Roaring Fork & Colorado River Valleys
We believe we're all better when we work together.
From Parachute to Aspen, Colorado, the Hurst Community Initiative works with elected officials, non-elected
community leaders, nonprofits, educational institutions, immigrants, businesses, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, state agencies, community organizers, and industry innovators.
The Hurst Community Initiative 3-Part Mission:
Promote
Dialogue
Increase Understanding
Facilitate Collaboration
With a focus on equity and belonging, we amplify and support projects that promote:
ECONOMIC VITALITY
Economies are strongest when they're diverse, responsive to the needs of the local community, and built on a wide variety of industries — where everyone has opportunity to participate, pursue upward mobility, and benefit equitably.
HOUSING STABILITY
Housing stability starts with innovative solutions to affordability, inventory, financing, and equitable access to building generational wealth for individuals across the continuum of permanent housing to homelesness.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE
Socially emotionally resilient individuals enjoy equitable access to food and housing stability, social services that support physical and mental health, vibrant natural ecosystems, educational enrichment, professional development, and community connectivity.
Fight for the things you care about,
but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We drive change through dialogue, leadership, and action to help solve the greatest challenges of our time.
