The primary goal of Wellspring on Main (a 501(c)3 not for profit organization, Arlington Center for Community Engagement) is to provide a place for the community to gather, celebrate, learn, and grow. More than a building, Wellspring is developing and implementing community projects that address the social factors of wellness: mental, physical, social, financial, spiritual, environmental, and vocational. The community conversations and activities that occur connect people who don’t normally cross paths to learn from each other. We also foster the work of similar organizations, providing office and gathering spaces. The measurements of success include increased: minority representation in public decision-making bodies, positive responses through long-term feedback means, numbers of ethnic and minority cultural participants in the activities, and number of partner organizations.
