Recent Events

On Mar. 24th we held a workshop in conjunction with ASU’s Lifelong Learning Institute at Power Ranch. In this workshop, participants shared their own experiences with resilience on an individual and community basis. We also discussed ways in which their community, Trilogy, might be more resilient. We will be returning to Trilogy to follow-up on some of the ideas that were generated in this workshop. In the meantime, Trilogy’s Resilience Solutions Committee will begin a dialogue on these topics and explore the possibility of additional services and programming in their community.

This workshop was one of a series of classes that are being offered in the Trilogy Community by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. To learn more about the Institute, visit their website. www.asu.edu/xed/osher

Over the last few months, most recently Feb. 10th and 11th, we have been meeting with a variety of powerful community leaders and service providers from across the Valley. These meetings have been held with partner St. Luke’s Health Initiatives and have provided valuable input to help shape our community workshops and outreach efforts.
