We live in neighborhoods in towns and cities of all sizes. Neighborhood roads connect a community. But, communities are more than roads and a zip code. Communities have schools, stores, places to eat and worship, and services for our health and safety. Communities should be where we have a sense of belonging. This site is intended to help you explore how to create connections in your community to meet people, plan places to live, work and volunteer during and after high school, and learn about services.
