Wellville was a 10-year (2014-2024) national nonprofit project that supported five US communities – the Wellville 5 – as they worked to improve long-term, equitable, community wellbeing. Learn more about the decade of progress and insights working with the Wellville 5 communities:
The annual Wellville Gathering brought together people from the Wellville 5, the Wellville National team and Advisory Board, and other advisors and experts, to learn with and from each other.
Wellville communities are learning that if we want better health, we need to shift our mindsets, collaborate, and ask better questions: What future do we want? What’s holding us back? And what will it take to get there?
Perhaps the best way to explain Wellville’s unusual role/methods is in a quadrant chart. Let’s call it the “Who decides?” chart. It visualizes how help is offered to communities by outsiders, including Wellville, who either tell you or ask you what to do or how to do it – or both! The “you” is the community members, in all their glory and variety of needs and capacities.
