Mission
CBF, Inc., a non-profit community-based educational
Foundation, employs Community Building (CB)
technology to help at-risk youth, 17-23 years of age,
discover new ways to relate to other human beings
while they are trained and paid to restore neglected
homes and revitalize their neighborhoods.
This dual-pronged approach to personal transformation
encourages and fosters spiritual growth
through: a) the use of Community Building technology
coupled with; b) the self-esteem and joy that comes
from learning new skills, coming to realize a potentially
meaningful contribution to one’s existence and society
as a whole.
We view this mission as an attempt at engineering
simple solutions to complex social problems -- e.g.
racism, illiteracy, limited job choices -- that face many
disadvantaged, underemployed and undereducated
young people.
Our Vision
We have a simple dream:
• to give hope to disaffected populations
by providing meaningful, satisfying and
socially redeeming work,
• to reduce crime and its inherent
motivations,
• to help reconnect humans to each other
and disaffected youth to their
neighborhoods, its residents and society
at large
"No problem can be
solved until
community is built." M. Scott Peck
