Ashleigh and Kristen recently joined us to outline their stories and research with the Sheridan Press and their most recent project spotlighting humanity in our own communities. Their natural repartee is perfect for a podcast environment highlighting the Center for Vital Community (CVC), and its position as the "nonprofit for nonprofits." As we all know the pandemic is coming to an end, but political unrest is still at an all time high and Ashleigh and Kristen do an amazing job at creating a safe space for civil discussions around community, voting, and other subjects. Kristen is the publisher of Sheridan Press located in Sheridan, WY and Ashleigh is the managing editor of the same media source. 

About the project:

It is a three-part series about the Center for a Vital Community, a nonprofit for nonprofits of sorts that promotes civility, leadership and democracy in the Sheridan County community. The CVC is unique to Sheridan County, and the articles published dove into why it hasn’t been replicated elsewhere, things that have worked and haven’t over its more than 20-year life and its upcoming plans of hosting community conversations centered around mental health.

• Civic engagement: CVC promotes leadership, cooperation in Sheridan

• Finding what works: CVC success hinges on human potential

• Buy-in: Community finds own solutions through study circles

Thank you both so much for your time!
