This guide, created by Community Wealth Partners, is engaging and so easy to pick up on - it shares a clear approach to move from community engagement to community ownership. A few principles that really stood out to me (okay more than a few lol): - Create space to go off topic - Be honest with yourselves and transparent with the community - Listen deeply - Create time for relationship building early on - Stay accountable for the long haul - Narrate decision making process https://lnkd.in/gemStmbu

This quote encapsulates the essence of what makes communities so powerful. Communities are more than just gatherings of individuals; they are shared journeys towards common goals. They provide a nurturing environment where members support, uplift, and inspire one another. Within a community, there’s a synergy that emerges when people align their efforts towards a shared purpose. Together, they celebrate successes, navigate challenges, and learn from each other’s experiences. At hey you, we believe that cultivating meaningful connections within our community is essential. We encourage you to embrace the strength of community, agreeing to grow together and supporting each other on our journey towards collective success.
