Working with partner organizations enhances their work and brings civity to scale.
A civity culture grows organically as more and more people in a community prioritize and experience being relational with each other. Relational infrastructure is the “civic muscle” that makes for strong and thriving communities.
Local leaders are ideally placed for seeding and sowing civity in their communities: The essence of leadership is empowering others.
Instead of creating new initiatives from scratch, Civity partners with organizations already working to address important issues like climate change, economic inequality, struggling rural communities, racial justice, immigrants’ rights, building a stronger democracy … and many more. Being intentional and strategic about bridging relationships focuses and strengthens their work – and brings civity to scale.
Our partners recognize the importance of people sharing a “We’re All In This Together” view of their community. We collaborate with organizations that share our vision of weaving the relational infrastructure necessary for building communities of inclusion, belonging, and justice.
