SHARED STEWARDHIP

Leading Through Shared Stewardship

 

Shared stewardship is what grows the belonging and civic muscle to expand vital conditions and shape new legacies for thriving together.

Stewards are people and organizations who take responsibility for working with others to expand conditions that everyone needs to thrive together, beginning with those who are struggling and suffering.

We are becoming an inclusive, diverse network of non-profit organizations, academic institutions, community advocates, social entrepreneurs, innovators, philanthropists, business leaders, and others invested in creating a thriving Inland Empire. We believe that anyone sharing our vision can act in shared stewardship and essential practices to connect across differences, create opportunities, and learn and adapt as we work to expand vital conditions so that all people and places can thrive.

Our Guiding Beliefs

Our strength lies in our interdependence

Recognizing our interconnectedness, we understand that operating in isolation or silos limits our potential. By cultivating a shared vision and fostering collaboration, we enhance our collective strength, intelligence, and resilience.

Our region embodies inclusivity

Our region is home to diverse communities, geographies, and histories. By embracing different perspectives and interests, we forge deeper connections and bolster our capacity to tackle complex challenges together.

Our communities are the experts

While we value insights and innovations from across the nation, we trust that the individuals in our region understand best what works and what requires improvement within their communities.

Stewardship defines our region

Stewardship entails embracing a purpose greater than oneself or any single organization—thinking holistically for the entire community. Anyone can act as a steward. We champion the distribution of leadership, resource sharing, and the cultivation of mutual trust, essential elements in crafting a thriving future for all.
