Community Happens Here
“We need to TALK with each other. This project is to help bring community together.
DRIVEN BY SOCIAL GOOD
The concept behind this project is that a mix of co-working and conference room rentals can sustain and fund programming for social good in the building, and create community.
This programming has one primary function. It seeks to create ways for people to connect over social difference. It tries to soften and break through the invisible walls we have between people of different social and economic situations. We need to do more than nod to each other as we pass in the street or sit in the same row at a children’s choir concert.
The rental spaces will include co-working space, and conference room rentals, space for indoor/outdoor community events, and a café-like space. We seek partners who are driven by community and a sense of social purpose. It aims to create an inclusive and supportive environment for new ideas, human connection and success.”
Community Happens Here is a non profit based in Cincinnati, Ohio that may have internship opportunities.
