Communities As One (CAO) fosters reconnection, hope, and peace after violence through culturally specific programs that empower healing for individuals and communities.

Our approach

Communities As One (CAO) inspires reconnection, hope and possibilities for peace and friendship after violence. We provide culturally specific programs to empower and heal individuals and communities impacted by violence. We unite communities together to learn from each other’s cultural practices and ancestral healing traditions through sharing food, movement, and stewarding land. We are committed to centering reciprocity with each other and the Earth.
