WHO WE ARE

Based in Maine, we at CHANGE (short for Community Health Awareness and Natural Growth Environment) acknowledge the importance of harmony and equity at the community-level to promote positive well-being for everyone. Considering multidimensional nature of our community, including its diversity, we have recognized unique opportunities and barriers that coexist in our ever growing multicultural state in achieving positive well-being for all.

As a result, we have worked tirelessly to deliver a neutral(and safe) space that caters to our needs communally. Using the power of education, we are here to aid our members’ needs through an emphasis on community building and socially-informed programming. Through this platform we intend to retain the rich qualities that make up our community and hope to support everyone realize a holistic, healthy life.
