Become a Community Builder

A Learning Community of Practice!

Giving, Receiving & Growing Together

Grow and accelerate your and our collective impact in this new community of practice.

The power of human connection is the key to our collective future. This is our calling, our mutual purpose: to enhance the power of every engagement by bringing everyone’s voice and wisdom to a positive outcome. This is the foundation of collective impact.

Community Builders are asked to contribute and participate actively through events, programs, discussions, and conversations outlined below. This is an opportunity to give and grow in collaborative community, grounded in the principles and practices of The Art of Convening. Together, we will explore the leadership behaviors and practices that support you in the impact you want to have while supporting the CPL Vision of a just, inclusive, interconnected world—a world that works for all.
