RiverWise
RiverWise empowers communities to build a better future.
RiverWise organizes community voice and power so that residents can reclaim agency over the future of communities along the rivers of Beaver County, PA.
We produce community storytelling that disrupts the idea that Beaver County’s best days are behind it.
We undertake project identification and management that demonstrates what a more organized and visionary future for the region looks like.
We build partnerships and secure resources to help residents bring about their future vision for the region.
Intentionally founded to help connect residents to their rivers, we quickly realized that the needs and opportunities facing our communities are far more extensive than this one issue. As a result, we have willingly tackled a wide range of projects that serve to organize community voice and power in more strategic, resilient, and sustainable ways.
