The Small Towns Program is based on a program of mentoring, technical assistance, self-help, and learning from each other and from neighboring communities.

This process is further documented in our publication called Small Voices, Big Songs: A Story of American Renewal. The small town process is based on assets of each community, their heritage, resources, and strengths. Using this model, communities that have traditionally not had resources or seen themselves as advantaged, as well as those that have, can create an opportunity to learn, grow, and teach others about community revitalization.
