For Communities

Hands braiding textile fabric into ropeWelcome to the Communities Resource Hub. Here, we focus on empowering communities across New Jersey to build resilience and foster healing.

Community can be defined as groups of people who share common characteristics, interests, or goals. These characteristics can include geographic location, interests, values, or a shared purpose. Communities can be as small as a neighborhood or as large as an entire city. They often provide a sense of belonging and identity to their members and can be instrumental in offering support, fostering connections, and driving collective action. "Community" is defined by community.

Our aim is to support communities in enhancing well-being and creating environments that nurture growth and recovery. Whether you're looking for guidance, tools, or collaborative opportunities, this page is geared to provide the support and information needed to strengthen your community's resilience.
