Our Theory of Change

During the summer of 2024, we began drafting a new Theory of Change, bringing together a team of staff and board guided by APANO’s core values: self-determination, solidarity, integrity, care, and belonging. After months of conversation, reflection, and collaboration, we finalized our Theory of Change in the winter of 2024—and began the important work of putting it into practice.
