Community Based Policy
The policies and philosophies behind government in communities shape the character of those communities and push them towards success or keep them from fully developing. At the Hub, we believe teaching people to engage in policy making and investing in policy advocacy are key pieces of ensuring thriving communities.

Community Building Initiatives
The Hub began its work by gathering stakeholders in communities, helping them to work together to prioritize development, identify attainable goals, recruit community volunteers and implement plans. We work with more than 50 communities in West Virginia on various initiatives to make them stronger.

Envisioning West Virginia’s Future
West Virginia is at a crossroads where the economy that has sustained its people for years is on the decline. The Hub is working with a large number of partners to engage the state’s citizens in discussions about the future, share ideas and connect leaders in order to develop a new plan for where the state will go next.
