Erie, Pennsylvania-Session 6 of the ARC Leadership Institute was incredible.
Building Community Capacity was our session focus.
Imagine for a moment your town with no social infrastructure.
No schools, no churches, no recreation, no parks, no grocery stores, no restaurants, no Main Street or small businesses, no museums, no libraries, no places where people gather socially and interact.
Would you want to live there without those things?
Now think, are you a community member that makes investments in those entities whether through spending your hard earned money there, collaboration in community service, volunteerism, philanthropy, or just being a good, active citizen?
Building and Sustaining Community Capacity is HARD WORK!
Thankful for another week of collaborating with world changers across the 13 Appalachian States. These people are amazing human beings, doing amazing work in their states. Though our year together is coming to an end, the impact this group will make across Appalachia is just beginning! Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Bruce Decker
Family and personal wellness through identifying renewed purpose and potential!
1moOne of the greatest experiences of my life, attending a meeting at Chit-Chat up "on the hill". Folks, Caron has always been about the reunification of family. Struggles with addiction is a "family business". So, love seeing this family fellowship.
