Community Assets

At King Chavez Leadership and Arts Academy, we embrace our role as the hub of a
transforming community. We partner with the members of our direct and global
surroundings and believe that these ongoing relationships foster the sense of
community that we need to support the needs of our school community members.

Citizens have the capacity to change the community story, to reclaim the power to
name what is worth talking about, to bring to context into being. Peter Block (2008)
