Neighborhood Community-Building

This part of the website is meant to be a resource for anyone building community resilience in their own neighborhood. We hope you find it helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions and ideas. 

 

Creating community at the block level supports the whole idea of the Transition Movement because the neighborhood block is a wonderful container for: human care, skill sharing, civic involvement, resource sharing, emergency preparedness, food production, and creating new “family” groups. Building community on our blocks not only increases our social wellbeing, it is a great first step in creating resilience and sustainability, and a future in which everyone's needs can be met.

Want to be involved in the Working Group?

We are inviting anyone interested in helping to organize or support neighborhood efforts throughout  Santa Cruz as well as on your own block.  Contact Aviva Longinotti:
