Introduction to Community Wealth Building (CWB)

Join us for an introductory training session on Community Wealth Building (CWB)—a practical and values-driven approach to reshaping local economies by starting in your own place or community.

In this session, you’ll learn about the origins, principles, and real-world applications of CWB from those who have helped develop and implement it. CWB focuses on building local economic power through community ownership and control of assets, offering an alternative to traditional economic development models that have often deepened inequality.

This training is designed for anyone interested in creating fairer, more inclusive local economies. You’ll leave with a foundational understanding of CWB and initial tools to begin exploring how it can be applied in your context.
