Wildflowers Institute works with communities to strengthen their collective “will“ and to help build a strong sense of identity and meaningful self-organized activities so that young people, families, and networks can achieve many of their personal, social, and cultural aspirations.

Wildflowers accomplishes this by being a social innovation and application lab that focuses on ethnic, indigenous, and racial communities. The institute carries out studies to help communities to discover underlying premises that hold everyone together. We find the informal leaders and their self-organized activities and help them grow and become even more effective than they are today. We offer leadership programs to support the young and old to work together on building a community formation with deeply held purposes that motivate positive behavior and that cultivate social trust and safety, healthy practices, spirituality, respect for being openly different, creativity, and wealth creation. Wildflowers makes small financial investments in projects that support informal leaders and their efforts to build social spaces and to create wealth in communities.
