The Reciprocity Project journey in school design learned that schools are the missed opportunity for community development. In this paradigm shift, we ask what the community needs are, and with the community, build institutions that can serve those needs. Our work is rooted in reciprocal relationships, and in this model, rather than be a product, reciprocity is a process of listening to a community-driven vision of the purpose of schools’ outcomes, making the community healthier and more prosperous.
