Play in a Sandbox of Ideas

About Us

Happy Community Builders is a ‘sandbox’ where we community builders play with ideas, co-create and find new ways of thinking. We can celebrate our successes, draw on each other's expertise, and share resources.

This enables us to be more effective in the transformational work we are committed to. And, it enables us to go beyond reactive behavior so we can envision new possibilities for community’s place in our society.

Happy Community Builders is a springboard to collaborate. It enables us to “scale up” our impacts that we could not achieve alone. We can co-create new ways of building inclusive, connected, belonging and caring communities.”

For example: People who did not know each other have come together around a specific idea such as isolation or intergenerational connections and put their magic together to create a brilliant process that can be used in any community.
