Less than 3 weeks remain to make 2X the impact with our Spring Match! If our community can raise $170,000 by June 2, then generous friends of #durhamhabitat have agreed to match that - funding 2 new houses! That means 2 more Durham families can access all the health, wealth, and educational benefits that come with #affordablehomeownership #durhamnc https://lnkd.in/gEG_C4m4

How can we challenge ourselves to explore alternatives for how we live, love, own our things, choose our families and raise our children? Social dreaming is something I love to do I especially in summer🌞 by reading utopian stories or novels. Such as this book: Everyday Utopia by Kristen Ghodsee (thanks to Upstream https://lnkd.in/eBBnxxma for bringing this to my attention). The second chapter "home is where the walls are" asks questions such as: what would happen if we choose to reorganize our lives to max social connectedness? * Inspiring examples of coliving existing today such as Ibsgarden in Copenhagen, the Baugruppen in Berlin, ecovillage Nashira in Columbia * Insights such as cohousing can: - decrease isolation - increase housing stock (current buildings can house more people) - free up time for women (less household chores on their shoulders) - reduce overall consumption - see housing as a social good instead of a commodity * It also discusses challenges involved such as dealing with conflicts with neighbors requiring protocols regarding conflict resolution and collective decision making Love it that this "utopian" idea of coliving is not some abstract futuristic visions but actually happening in various places today💚⭐ see also: https://lnkd.in/ew8qECcZ https://lnkd.in/eaDX9qch https://lnkd.in/ejKh58TV

SATURDAY MORNING (AUGUST 24TH) at 9:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque will be having our next Community Clean-Up (ABQ)! LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED. WE ARE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS! Youth participation is strongly encouraged, so children are welcome to join! NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping your community clean! For more information: https://lnkd.in/gJNjR4Ns #TeamWhoIAm_Albuquerque

TOMORROW MORNING (JUNE 29TH) at 9:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque will be having our next Community Clean-Up (ABQ)! For this Community Clean-Up our volunteers will be meeting up at and cleaning Los Altos Park, located at 10100 Lomas Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112 (Meet-Up will be in the parking lot off Eubank next to Sonic) Youth participation is strongly encouraged, so children are welcome to join! NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. Volunteering as a means to help conserve and protect the environment has a lot of upsides. Of course, the first is that you’ll be taking care of our planet, and it badly needs a little love given the myriad ways in which we’ve become adept at destroying it. But beyond that, volunteering for a cause you care about is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, and pull yourself out of the blues that sometimes accompany caring a lot about something important – especially if you feel alone in your endeavors. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city.

Fellow Torontonians, How Civically Engaged Are You? A new report from the Toronto Foundation's 2023 Vital Signs Report, shows a concerning trend regarding our falling levels of collective civic engagement. Being an active community volunteer has always been part of my DNA, and I consider myself very fortunate to be able to give back with my time, skills, and dollars. In addition to providing stats the report, provides resources and suggestions for getting involved. These stats won't change unless those of us who can engage take up the challenge. I applaud the report's focus on helping readers take action and become engaged. Here are some top-level stats from the report >The percentage of people with six or more close friends declined by 20 percentage points from 2013 to 2018 and a further nine points from 2018 to 2022. >The volunteer rate fell from 37% to 25% between 2018 and 2022, while the donation rate slipped from 75% to 63%, leading to a loss of about 300,000 donors and 300,0000 volunteers. #Toronto #civicengagement #torontofoundation #volunteering #commuity #thesix Read the full report here:
