Seven Key Areas of Wellbeing

Environmental Security & Responsibility	Physical Fitness & Nutrition	Intellectual Growth	Introspective Reflection	Fiscal Management & Stability	Mental Clarity	Social & Interpersonal Relations

Resiliency is the ability to "bounce back" in the face of adversity, to stay afloat during turmoil, to thrive amidst change. In difficult times, it is critical that communities work together to achieve resiliency by sharing resources, developing common goals and learning from each other.

1) Advancement of Youth Resiliency
2) Environmental Security & Responsibility
3) Partnerships for Community Resiliency

Guiding Principles

ERCEGI seeks to advance youth and community resiliency through partnerships that promotes wellbeing and balance in the seven key areas of wellbeing by ensuring Resilient Factors exist in home, school/work, and community environments. Our efforts are guided not only by collected data and feedback from the community, but also by the following principles:

The future of any community is only as good as the future citizens it nurtures.
Addressing problems means addressing people through communication and education in which all aspects (economic, social, emotional, physical, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental) are considered.
More comprehensive and systemic change results from programs that target prevention over intervention.
Education (formal and informal) is the fundamental means for change.
Enlisting all stakeholders is necessary for attainable and systemic change.
Solutions must be arrived at by clearly identifying problem areas and root cause(s) and then carefully applying sustainable preventative programs that have been incubated and scaled.
The success of a program must be measured not only by those it has helped but also by those it did not harm.
