What are the hopes, fears, and expectations that you have for your community? What are the strengths and challenges?

Help shape a deeper, human-centered understanding of your community by taking a few minutes to complete the Community Voice Survey.

Too often, decisions are made 'about' communities without taking the time to understand people's lived experience. In order to amplify under-heard voices, the information collected will be analyzed for common themes and made publicly available through the Vibrancy Portal.

Take the survey now: https://www.newsunrising.org/community-voice/
