The Project Shine Blueprint

This is the full model. Colorized Community Friends founder Patrick Cooks walks you through the integrated three-pillar approach that makes Project Shine work: community development, employment, and housing addressed simultaneously — not one at a time. Learn why silos fail, how commerce funds the mission, and how you can replicate this model in your own community. For the woman ready to stop surviving and start building something that changes her block, her city, and the lives of women around her. Produced by Colorized Community Friends and Project Shine: developing and servicing communities while training, employing, and housing battered women with children.
