The power of collaboration of between American Leadership Forum senior fellows: In a heartening display of community spirit, Habitat for Humanity Merced/Stanislaus Counties (senior fellows Anita Hellam & Ashlee Williams) has partnered with PG&E Corporation Foundation (senior fellow Michael Gaffney), Calvary Assembly of God Church, and local organizations to address the housing crisis following the severe storms and flooding that ravaged Merced and Stanislaus counties earlier this year. Habitat for Humanity Merced/Stanislaus Counties CEO Anita Hellam emphasized the devastation in various regions, with many survivors still residing in damaged structures or transitional housing. To support the long-term volunteers working on reconstruction projects, a unique collaboration emerged between Habitat for Humanity and the Calvary Assembly of God Church, led by Pastor Juan Ochoa. A grant from PG&E Corporation Foundation has made it possible to renovate a church-owned property in Merced, transforming it into temporary housing for volunteers. Michael Gaffney, Division Operations Representative of PG&E's Central Valley Region, celebrated the partnership and its reflection of shared values in fostering compassionate, resilient communities. This remarkable joint effort also includes contributions from Habitat for Humanity California, Habitat for Humanity International, First 5 of Merced County, and donations of materials and supplies to the Habitat ReStore. The project aims to provide a comfortable living space for dedicated volunteers traveling from across the nation to assist in rebuilding efforts over the next three years. #ALFseniorfellow #americanleadershipforum #collaboration #community

My relationship with community recovery goes back to my earliest days…  I was two-years-old when Cyclone Tracy hit Darwin. Our parents sheltered us in the bath with a mattress over our heads. The next day we went looking for my mother's eternity ring, her Christmas gift from my dad. Amazingly, we found it amongst the rubble that was once our house.  It was Australia's most deadly cyclone. Our father stayed to rebuild the town while we moved to Toowoomba where my extended family lived. The thing is, as bad as that event was, it wasn't the worst thing that happened to us.  We were lucky we survived. My dad was a carpenter raised in the bush with the skills to rebuild. We had a significant extended family and a community that supported us. We were able to survive and thrive.   It remains a powerful experience for our family that grounds me. Today as I work as a practitioner as CEO for Australian Business Volunteers (ABV), it's so important to me that no one gets left behind.  Catastrophic events don't have to be catastrophic for everyone.  Communities can be prepared for the event, for both the immediate response and the recovery. These are approaches we need to deploy even more in response to Climate Change.  In the 21st century that cohesion and belonging can be lacking. Back then, I had a huge extended family. We went to church and we all knew each other. Everybody knew if there was something wrong in a family, a death or a challenge. We all kinda mucked in.  But now there's greater mobility, greater loneliness. We have to be more intentional in the ways we build community. What kind of activities have you found help build your community?    Zena Armstrong Melanie Bloor Natascha Wernick Amy Crawford GAICD Jessica Forrest Mark Duckworth PSM #communitybuilding #socialcapital #disasterresilience #volunteering (and yes, that's me at 2 years old in Darwin before the Cyclone)

⚠️ Housing Emergency ⚠️ Yesterday, our CEO Donna Hutchison, on behalf of Aberdeen Cyrenians, signed an open letter along with colleagues in our sector, successfully calling upon Aberdeen City Council to declare a housing emergency. Taking this step has not been something we do lightly. Read more about why this is necessary, and what we hope to achieve 👉 https://loom.ly/cPO7OFU

In 2022, the #UrbanWaters Federal Partnership program advanced a diverse range of projects focused on water quality protection, habitat restoration and resilience to climate change, and local Partnerships helped increase funding to community based and non-profit organizations working to improve their communities and watersheds “Since our Urban Waters designation, communities have been incorporated into institutional and governmental efforts in the watershed like never before. This has taken the form of funding for communities, following community guidance and leadership in designing projects, and working together to accomplish mutual goals.” https://lnkd.in/eh3-UYMj

SATURDAY MORNING (JULY 27TH) at 9:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque will be having our next Community Clean-Up (ABQ)! For this Community Clean-Up our volunteers will be meeting up at and cleaning Tingley Beach. (Exact Meet-Up location still to be determined) NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. Volunteering as a means to help conserve and protect the environment has a lot of upsides. Of course, the first is that you’ll be taking care of our planet, and it badly needs a little love given the myriad ways in which we’ve become adept at destroying it. But beyond that, volunteering for a cause you care about is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, and pull yourself out of the blues that sometimes accompany caring a lot about something important – especially if you feel alone in your endeavors. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping your community clean! For more information: https://lnkd.in/gFCcUaf5 #TeamWhoIAm_Albuquerque
