Come as a learner, not as a savior.
Weave Your Community: A Workshop
Setup
“Weavers” are a diverse group of Americans who are making quiet yet extraordinary efforts to strengthen the communities in which they live. Each of these leaders is taking on a very different challenge — be it suicide prevention, housing, urban revitalization, or immigrant rights — but they all focus foremost on the transformative power of human relationships. Learn about the personal journeys of these very different leaders and join the conversation to explore how you might begin to “weave” your own community.
