Mission
Clarkston Development Foundation, Inc., CDF Action, a not-for-profit created in 2010, uses an asset based community development approach, connecting and engaging the Clarkston community and surrounding areas by working alongside residents to recognize and develop the individual capacities of each person. By supporting participation and collaboration among community members, the goal is to build a community whose residents drive and direct the development of activities and services. Through a series of dialogues, early learning was selected by the community as a priority, and early learning was selected by the CDF Board of Directors as the focus of the organization.In 2021, the Board and staff completed a strategic planning process, led by Civitas, using Civitas Finding your North Star framework. As a result of the planning process, CDF developed a comprehensive document that included vision, mission, principles, approach, and 3-year strategic directions.Vision: CDF envisions communitie
