About Us

Leaders for Communities is a social networking site that connects current and future leaders at community development organizations across the country.

NeighborWorks America® developed the Leaders for Communities website in 2009 to give new, emerging, and experienced leaders in the community development field an opportunity to share ideas and experiences and access professional development and career opportunities.

There are many ways toconnect on Leaders for Communities:

• Participate in discussions
• Read, write, and comment on blog posts
• Sign up for seminars or events
• Join a group focused on a particular topic or region of interest
• View and share photos and videos of community development in action
• Search for job opportunities in the community development field
• Browse and contribute links and other resources for community development professionals

By giving community development professionals a space in which to connect with one another, share valuable knowledge, and cultivate up-and-coming leadership, we hope to create a more effective and diverse field.

Leaders for Communities is an online community of professionals, and we ask that all members read and observe our Guidelines to maintain a healthy and respectful dialogue.
