In December, 2006, sponsored by Flintridge Foundation, Yoland Trevino, Principal of Transformative Collaborations International (TCI), started a series of Workshops and Dialogues on the Appreciative Inquiry Approach that lasted for 8 months: The Coalition of Transformative Leaders from Pasadena & Altadena learning a methodology that helps to improve groups and organizations’ dynamics. After completion of such training and due to the genuine interest of some participants, the Coalition decided to maintain its weekly meetings until now and started actively collaborating as bridge builders with the Pasadena & Altadena community, supporting schools, administrators, authorities and families as well as beginning its inception as a non-Profit organization, now with a whole plan of projects and activities. Our goal is to generate transformation using existing services and community resources. PACTL decided to incorporate in December 2010 and formed a Board of Directors that include professionals, Parents, Community Residents and Youth.
