Share Your Voice
West Virginians are collaborating in new ways to level up our efforts to build up communities across the state.
Here are four things we can do together to learn from one another and lift up the innovative community development work happening in West Virginia:
1. Lend your perspective.
Read the preliminary findings from The Hub’s Community Development Innovation report and give us your feedback. What did we get right? What would you do differently?
2. Share your story.
Does your community have a story of progress from the last ten years to share? Great! Let us know what happened.
3. Join us.
West Virginians are linking up to build a community development network to work smarter, amplify impact, and pursue new opportunities. If you are working to support the wellbeing of West Virginia communities, join us.
Email The Hub team about this project at network@wvhub.org to find out more information and get linked in.
4. Take the survey.
We are surveying West Virginians to map out the work that existing community development groups are engaging in and identify needs that a statewide network could potentially address.
