Better Together
"Participating in a community of action not only benefits the neighborhood as a whole but grows the individual participant as well."
- Better Together, page 65
Barna Group undertook this study to learn more about the types of people who are taking initiative in their communities in building a collaborative network – who gather, donate, serve, create, teach, mobilize and innovate, alongside other passionate neighbors, to meet needs around them.
Alongside new research and data visualizations, Better Together includes:
-
Profiles of different types of people who participate in volunteer groups and what drives them toward compassion and collaboration
-
Details about how healthy groups form, communicate and grow
-
Interviews with Gabe Lyons, Makoto Fujimura, Becca Stevens and a panel of faith and nonprofit leaders from across the U.S.
