I couldn't post this presentation without a quick shout out to my first civic engagement mentor: Bob from Sesame Street...
Freedom, Faith, & Family: My adventures and thoughts as a community builder on the east coast of VA. From my work in local government and non-profit agencies, to my local faith group and at home, effective community building can and should happen everywhere.
Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?
I recently presented at the Virginia Statewide Neighborhood Conference on the power of Community Stakeholders. The core message was that "resources exist in communities to do great things but knowing the networks and how to access them are key." We explored how to breakdown the traditional gatekeeper barriers and look for key trust agents that can serve as advocates for your community initiatives. Below is the link to the Prezi that I used. The accompanying group activity will be added later but you can see the instructions in the presentation. Feel free to share and tailor it for your own group.
