Our Vision

Our vision for the Community is for us to prosper as a unified community with a cultural foundation based on traditional  community values, high moral standards, and professional excellence. We will have community owned assets that fund a social agenda that fosters within the community a sense of empowerment and stake in itself.

Our Mission

The Orisa Community Development Corporation will spur the advancement of the Community by providing leadership in the development of a social model that fosters collectiveness, economic empowerment and self-determination.

We will fulfill our mission through providing strategic planning, programs and initiatives that build sustainability, pride, and the perpetuation of our way of life in the context of modern society.  We will develop the financial base of our Community through fund raising, social entrepreneurship, and other economic activities.
