Introduction to Asset-Based Community Development  

Join us for a free, 90-minute interactive introduction to Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) designed for civic and municipal leaders who want to move beyond surface-level engagement and build meaningful, productive relationships with their communities.

This session will explore how shifting from a needs-based lens to an asset-based approach can transform how you partner with residents and support community-led change.

Wednesday, February 4th | 2-3:30PM EST (Virtual)

Getting Started Building Connection & Care Block-by-Block  

Do you want to build social connection and care block-by-block in your neighborhood? 

Join us to hear insights and real-life experiences from Community Renewal International’s Good Neighbor Initiative. We’ll explore how communities can get started with Block Connectors—trusted neighbors who help weave relationships, surface gifts, and foster mutual care. You’ll leave with practical first steps to identify connectors, support them, and begin cultivating a culture where neighbors look out for one another and take shared responsibility for their block.
