Introducing Network Sites
We are a nation increasingly on the go. Our communications are more mobile, our food consumption, take-out. Our citizens connect globally through technology yet often feel disconnected from their neighbors. People sleep in one community and work in another. And our neighborhoods are paying the price.
Residents are less connected—to each other and to their local institutions. New neighbors don’t know what, where or how to get involved. And many say they lack the tools to frame common concerns, to talk about their differences—and to celebrate both.
Social Capital Inc. (SCI)® has been working for the past five years to strengthen the social fabric in local communities. Given the growing in interest in civic engagement and building bridges among diverse groups, SCI is seeking communities interested in replicating its successful Community Connector programs.
Based on SCI’s successful community building programs in Dorchester, Lynn and Woburn, we will partner with interested communities to replicate the following bundle of SCI Community Connector programs.
