Service. It is not an annual event. It is ongoing.
Community. It is not a weekly activity. It is a way of life.
But it is hard to get people with abilities in touch with people who have needs and it’s hard to get people to come together and rally around those with needs, as they crop up.
Volunteer management can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be.
TheCommon.org is a tool for communities that creates an element of shared leadership and purpose. Beyond that all you need is people with needs and people with abilities.
Organizations can also blend together and you can interconnect with Facebook and Twitter.
I am thinking about ways that The Common and Communitas Collective can work together, join with other services, and create a better sense of community by allowing people in our communities to their post needs and abilities. This could be a piece of what I have been looking for to take what we do to the next level and make it more real and interpersonal.
