A community comprises one or more groups of people who share a common story that defines a part of their identity. This story is important to them and shapes how they view the world and their personal history. Communities may involve formal or informal structures, often supporting and fostering social connections, cooperation, and collaboration toward collective well-being.

A community-centered approach places the community at the forefront of decision-making processes, problem-solving, and resource allocation. This framework acknowledges that communities have unique perspectives, histories, and identities informed by their shared stories and lived experiences. It emphasizes self-determination so communities can define their needs, goals, and strategies to suit their circumstances. Community-centered approaches foster active participation, strong relationships, and collaboration and equip the community toward achieving its desired outcomes.
