At Experience Mission we believe that if our work is to be impactful it must operate the same way. Instead of stepping in with preconceived ambitions or goals, we feel that true partnership begins by listening to the community, hearing their stories, feeling their pain and responding to their vision for the future. Often times all that communities lack is access to the appropriate resources and the opportunity for development. At Experience Mission, we desire to meet these needs. However, we think that sustainable development is about more than simply providing resources.

We believe that healthy relationships are the building blocks for change. Its through relationships that hope is fostered and people are encouraged to dream of something better. Listening to real people tell there stories and helping them wrestle with what needs to change are simple but meaningful parts of a process that produces a vision which the community accepts as their own. Its then through this partnership that we're able to support the community with the appropriate resources needed for healthy development.
