Welcome to SEED — A Project of Tides Center



SEED builds capacity in groups to grow into their highest possibilities. We guide community-serving programs to:
  •      clarify and enliven what is most essential in their work,
  •      expand perceptions of what is possible, and
  •      focus planning, assessment and collaboration to achieve maximum impact.

It only takes a moment to catch a glimpse of new possibilities. Program teams can readily define a shared vision. What proves harder is to hold on to heightened visions long enough to gain confidence, and avoid slippage back to familiar but less rewarding ways of collaborating.

SEED is about realizing possibilities!

Our customized tools and coaching services reliably guide community-serving teams to align with their boldest visions, while at the same time growing capacity to measure and monitor progress.

Creativity, wholeness and generosity of spirit already abound in communities. Our practice is to draw out these qualities to enrich individual, organizational and community life.
