Join our community where Mutual Peer Support is the expectation

The Center for Peer-driven Change is creating a global community, an eco-system, where sharing and mutual support is the expectation.

The primary driver of change is ‘mutuality’.

PDC holds the promise of finally closing the gap in wealth and social standing.

Within PDC everyday people lead, learn, inspire, teach, and even share funds. Connecting their efforts to outside investments can amplify their efforts.

What are the benefits of becoming a member community?

Who can apply and what is the funding needed?

Only groups, villages, or agencies sponsoring local residents can apply. No individuals.

The cost is dependent on the scale and goals of the organization or group. In a low-cost area such as Liberia, less than $50,000 was required to impact 700 residents. Costs are reduced in subsequent years as participants take over most required duties. In New York the cost may be several times higher.

There is an annual cost for membership and use of the online platform but groups with little or no funds can apply for discounts or a waiver.
