Up and to the Right: The Rise of the Community Leader
Last month, we invited you to join our official Slack. This month, we're amplifying your stories through our series The Rise of the Community Leader. Community leaders have a lot in common, like their enthusiasm for teaching and learning and a passion for building authentic relationships within and across communities. Their goals are similar, but their paths to leadership are diverse and often surprisingly...surprising ( just ask our Roomies).

“When I think about building communities, [you really have to build] a community that is welcoming to new folks.” |

Uncommon Support
We started Uncommon Support because we believe communities are strongest when they uplift one another. We ask every community expert to share a favorite nonprofit and then we donate in their honor—Mary chose the Special Olympics and Jeff chose Science in the City. |
