***WE HAVE A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!***
We are EXTREMELY excited to finally announce our first major step towards realizing The Good Hub dream: The Good Hub POP UP, coming this March and April!

Thanks to the generosity of Colliers International Raleigh Durham, we will be able to pilot-test a few of the core features of the future Good Hub this Spring in a TEMPORARY POP UP SPACE at 702 Oberlin Road in Raleigh -- and we want YOU to join us! We're in the process of developing our Good Hub POP UP schedule now, but keep an eye on our Good Hub site, www.thegoodhub.org, for more information in the coming days to learn how you can visit for a tour, participate in (or collaborate on!) a special event in the space, or drop in with your friends and family.

We want The Good Hub to be a vibrant, welcoming, exciting space for YOU, all in our community, that inspires all who come through the doors to find their unique way to get involved in our community. We can't wait to hear your thoughts!

We've definitely seen proof of this in our work, and are excited for the Good Hub to be a part of nurturing this culture!

Employee engagement has a limited impact, versus the sustained increased performance improvement that comes from a worker who is passionate about what he does.

Community-oriented places have meaningful impact! "People who live closer to neighborhood amenities are more trusting, are less socially isolated, and express greater satisfaction with their community."

Living close to public amenities—from parks to grocery stores—increases trust, decreases loneliness, and restores faith in local government.

Placemaking "concerns the deliberate shaping of an environment to facilitate social interaction and improve a community’s quality of life." Check out the 13 cases in this Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study! https://bit.ly/2eHaB3e

Loneliness, disconnectedness, mental health - building spaces centered on caring for the community can help!

Self-care alone can't heal communities.

Let's talk place! Our vision for The Good Hub is a creative, inclusive, community-based space to empower and inspire ACTION!

What are elements of your favorite places?

"The fates of place, people, and economies are deeply intertwined is a truth as old as time." Amazing article about why examining these intersections and building spaces around them is important!

In an era marked by stark inequalities, there is an urgency, and opportunity, for local and regional leaders to advance place-led development that produces better economic outcomes for more people in more places.

How did the idea for The Good Hub come about? With a big question: What is the future of service in America?

Have you been to your local volunteer center? The answer is probably no. You probably don’t even know it exists. But rethinking the idea of a space that helps connect people to others who want to do good could result in a massive increase in service.
