Excerpted from the book BEYOND EMPOWERMENT: THE AGE OF THE SELF-MANAGED ORGANIZATION, by Doug Kirkpatrick, JetLaunch, 2017Thanks for reading D'Artagnan Journal!

Dr. Mimi Silbert’s vision for a residential program to help people build lives with integrity and purpose began in 1971 in San Francisco and has spread to five additional locations around the United States. It has helped thousands of former drug users, convicts, and destitute people restore their lives through effective and accountable self-management. Delancey Street’s ability to run six facilities without staffing or funding is a testament to its amazing effectiveness; it never solicits funds or pursues donor development because its own residents are the primary source of improvement. It is where people go when they have nowhere else to go. Where else can one find former gang enemies living side by side in perfect harmony?
