Whether it's in the aftermath of a natural disaster or in the daily lives of those living in marginalized communities around the world, it's become clear that a top-down approach to social change isn't sustainable. Social impact strategy is most successful when ordinary people come together, pick up the threads, and weave their communities back together.

Inspired by the approach a Guatemalan weaver takes to create strong, beautiful textiles by bringing together separate strands, The Weaver's Way proposes that we toss out the traditional changemaker playbook and try a new approach to improving people's lives. Instead of providing a prescriptive pattern to follow, however, the book gives you the basic techniques—the stitches—to create your own pattern. These are the tools for change you can use whether you want to be a changemaker in your immediate community or you're working in the formal social entrepreneurship and innovation sector.
