What Is Possible When Assets Meet Needs Effectively!

Welcome to Community Without Walls.

A futurist once shared this challenge with community change agents as he likened our communities to the human body. He marveled at how the human body was so effecient and, without even thinking about it, could relieve an itch in any spot on the body with the simple movement of a finger in the exact location and for the exact duration of time needed. He told us this was possible because of the body's amazing communications network called the central nervous system.

He explained that our communities could be more functional if they, too, had such a communications network that would link people to people more effectively, and through them link community assets to needs. He challenged those of us in attendance to imagine what our communities could look like if we were to follow nature's example in the human body and create a more effecient network of communications and relationships in our communities that would allow our abundant needs to be met with our abundant assets and resources.

This is what Community Without Walls is working toward! Please engage with in the many Day of 1,000 Volunteers events we'll produce throughout the year, or in assembling our database of community needs and assets. Thanks for your interest and participation.
