This in-depth evaluation captures two years of learning from our Healing Starts Here initiative, which supported 32 community-led projects that are building belonging and addressing division across the country. Written by ORS Impact, the report highlights how local leaders are using approaches like dialogue, storytelling, conflict resolution, organizing, power-building, and collaborative problem-solving to repair relationships, strengthen civic trust, and transform communities. These local leaders offer timely guidance for funders, practitioners, and institutions committed to fostering pluralism from the ground-up.
