What Makes a Steward?

Stewards are people or organizations that work with others to create conditions that all people need to thrive, beginning with those who are struggling and suffering. Anyone can be a steward. Stewards come from every walk of life and sector, united by a commitment to work across differences, share power, and co-create thriving communities.
