Local Communities Matter

One of the Circle of Impact Guiding Principles is that we should ‘act locally.’ The focus on these actions is our local community.What constitutes a ‘local community’?Is it just a place where people live?Is a local community simply a place for economic activity?Communities are not just places where people sleep and shop when they are not at work.They are where their kids go to school, where first responders protect and serve, and where generations of families live.What creates a local community isn’t stores and houses, but people. With people you get traditions and values that create a distinctive community culture.
