You’ve got a passion for building strong towns, but how do you rally your neighbors and start taking action? This course is all about helping you learn what your community needs and working alongside your neighbors to make it happen.
You want your community to change. You also want these changes to be received well by others. You want them to share a vision of what’s possible with you and take steps to accomplish that vision together.
Presenter

Contents
Every lesson comes with a conversation starter question and a connection starter prompt. You get to decide what you start with these – will you get a small group together and talk about this? The course includes a group discussion handout in .pdf format.
You will also find a host of recommended resources to explore at the end of each lesson. You'll probably need to bookmark a few for later if you want to actually finish the course.
