The Center for Community Values (CCV) encourages and equips people to create and sustain relational communities where justice, democracy, and human dignity prevail. In a relational community, people experience their connectedness to other human beings and find a place to live their values in an atmosphere of justice, democracy, and human dignity. Each person is treated equitably. Each person participates with a voice and a vote. And each person is respected for his or her intrinsic worth. In a relational community, interdependence, interconnection, and mutuality are valued. The CCV is a resource center and networking facilitator for people engaged in relational communities. It is a private foundation supported by individual and corporate donation.

This web site has been designed to provide resources for those who are interested in facilitating and creating relational communities. For more information about the Center for Community Values, please contact us at ccv@the-ccv.org.
