Course Description: This presentation describes how the Model of Human Occupation, the Asset-Based Community Development framework, and the “promotora” model shaped a migrant women’s cooperative.

Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on their own practices and consider how they can leverage the strengths and capacities of the communities they serve.
