From Strangers to Neighbors: The Community Program Changing Local Life
In a time when many of us don’t even know our neighbors, one community program is changing how people connect locally.
In this episode, Jadonna and Dr. Elissa Lee of the California Volunteers Neighbor to Neighbor program, explore how a neighborhood-based program is helping strangers become neighbors, encouraging real relationships, and rebuilding a sense of community at the local level. They talk about why community connection matters, what actually helps people show up for each other, and how small programs can make a big difference in neighborhood life.
Topics include:
– Getting to know your neighbors
– Community-building programs
– Neighborhood engagement
– Local connection and belonging
– Why community matters more than ever
