Research Purpose
The Journey to BeCome functions as an applied research model for community transformation. Its research purpose is to study how personal growth translates into collective action and how aligned individuals can drive sustainable community change. The research unfolds through action, iteration, and measurable community impact.
BeCome Vision
By 2046, we will partner with 60 communities across the globe, cultivating a movement of volunteers, mentors, and local leaders. Together, we will build systems of change that elevate the inner brilliance of individuals working across generations to create sustainable solutions to social, economic, and cultural challenges.
What We Do
We build social capital—the trust, collaboration, and connectedness that form the foundation of every thriving community. Through this foundation, Journey to Become activates people-powered systems that inspire hands-on service and meaningful transformation across five key areas:
1. Community Asset Building
We shift narratives from scarcity to strength by helping communities recognize their people, spaces, traditions, and culture as their greatest assets. Through service projects, storytelling, and shared leadership, we elevate what makes each place extraordinary.
2. Economic Empowerment
We support community-driven growth by promoting financial literacy, local business development, and entrepreneurial pathways that reflect identity, ownership, and economic resilience.
3. Generational Development
We mobilize every generation—from Notable Newcomers to Standing Ovationers—through mentorship, shared leadership, volunteer service, and the collaborative power of intergenerational wisdom.
4. Health, Safety & Community Well-Being
We advance the full well-being of communities by encouraging healthy living, supporting mental and emotional wellness, promoting safety, and expanding access to vital resources.
5. Civic Engagement & Collective Action
We help communities take action by inspiring volunteerism, amplifying local leadership, and ensuring every voice contributes to shaping the decisions that matter most.
