In my journey through the Community Renewal International Experience, I've been captivated by the #profound impact of their initiatives on community transformation. Continuing with our week's focus on #SystemsOrchestrators, today's highlight is the remarkable work of the Community Renewal Team. 🌍🌿 The Renewal Team's mission is profound: to #identify, #align, and #mobilize caring individuals across communities. They're the backbone of a movement that shifts societal focus towards positive, actionable care. At speaking events in churches, businesses, and civic groups, they ignite the "We Care Movement," transforming community self-image through visible acts of kindness. 🌏💡 In 2018, CRI volunteers, contributing an astonishing 39,389 minutes, provided an in-kind value worth $976,847! This statistic is a powerful testament to the immense impact of volunteerism, a core element of the Renewal Team's strategy. They demonstrate how volunteer efforts can lay the groundwork for a robust system of relationships, the very essence of a caring community. 🤲🌱 Today, I'm celebrating Sharpel Welch, EDD, MBA, the Director of the Renewal Team. Sharpel's journey from an Army veteran and educator to her pivotal role in #CRI exemplifies the essence of a Systems Orchestrator. Her approach - "What do you have?" in response to "What do you need?" - reflects a mindset of #resourcefulness and community #empowerment. 👩🏫🔗 Sharpel's leadership has propelled the Renewal Team to new heights, crafting a culture of caring that permeates the Shreveport-Bossier region. It's a culture where every act of #kindness is a building block towards a united and #resilient community. 🏘️🤗 But it's more than just mobilizing volunteers; it's about discovering and nurturing Systems Orchestrators within the community. People like Sharpel, who started as a #volunteer and now guide others, demonstrate how local leadership can foster #sustainable, community-led development. 🌍🌿 Join me tomorrow as we continue to explore the Community Renewal International model and its remarkable #impact. Each day is a new chapter in understanding how collective impact and Systems Orchestrators can reshape our communities for the better. Stay tuned! 💫🌈 Check out Community Renewal International's work and see how you can support their mission: https://lnkd.in/ewSEm3qv #CommunityRenewal #SystemsOrchestrators #CommunityImpact #Volunteerism #CollectiveImpact #KilimoCollective #CommunityRenewalInternational #ValueOfVolunteers

Today, my exploration of Community Renewal International in Shreveport-Bossier brings us to the very core of community #transformation: the Haven House. Imagine a place where every street corner buzzes with #friendship, where neighbors aren't just faces but friends. 🏘️🤝 In the Haven Houses, I found a powerful blend of simplicity and depth. "Remaking our city by making friends on our street" is not just a tagline; it's a lived reality. Haven Houses stand as beacons of #trust and mutual #support, turning the concept of neighborly love into a tangible, vibrant force. 🌳💞 One remarkable individual exemplifying this #spirit is Russell Minor, the Director of Haven House. A man whose life journey has taken him from military service to leading a movement of neighborhood #rejuvenation. Russell doesn’t just organize; he inspires. He fosters a 'Neighbor loving Neighbor' ethos, transforming the way people interact and care for each other. 🌟👥 Russell’s work epitomizes what I call 'Systems Orchestrators'. He's not just facilitating events; he's weaving a tapestry of #interconnected lives, creating a symphony of community wellness. Leaders like Russell (and the rest of the Haven House team at Community Renewal International) light the torch of #sustainable change, proving how powerful local leadership can be. ✨🌍 Reflecting on today's post, the phrase "Community to Action," repeated often during the Haven House panel, stands out as a pivotal element in community-led development. It's more than a call – it's a #movement, a rallying cry that beckons us to support and #uplift each other. 🌟🤝 If the #transformative story of Community Renewal International strikes a chord with you, I encourage you to dive deeper into Community Renewal International’s work. Together, let's #champion this model of community development and share its powerful message far and wide! 🚀🤗 https://lnkd.in/ewSEm3qv #CommunityRenewal #HavenHouse #CollectiveImpact #LocalLeadership #SystemsOrchestrators

The Co-operative Party are delighted to have launched Unleashing Community Ownership, the report of the Community Ownership Commission. Authored by Mark Gregory, Visiting Professor at Staffordshire University, the report provides a detailed plan on how we can expand community owned business in every region of the UK. This agenda will be key in reversing the decline of our high streets and town centres under a potential future Labour & Co-op Government. https://lnkd.in/eBnPGe-W

Great to read this report by the Community Ownership Commission, with support from the Co-operative Party, highlighting the potential to increase the scale and impact of community ownership in the UK. We see community ownership as a powerful avenue for empowering local groups, helping them control the assets and services they use while fostering a stronger sense of community pride and belonging. Despite evident demand, there is still a need to provide more support to communities in many parts of the country so they can build the necessary capabilities to take on asset ownership. The report outlines five key policy recommendations to help communities unleash the full benefits of ownership. Read more below ⬇️ #CommunityOwnership #SocialImpactInvesting
