Earlier this year, Civic Commons US expanded our cohort of cities making strategic investments in parks, libraries, trails, & community centers. We also expanded our reach in Memphis, welcoming Heights CDC, Kayak Memphis, overtonpark, The Works, Inc., and Bloom to the learning network.

Today and tomorrow, we'll join the Civic Commons US cohort virtually to learn about the work across the country to transform civic assets to connect people of all backgrounds, cultivate trust, and create more resilient communities. Learn more at civiccommons.us
