Thriving Communities

We Help COMMUNITIES GROW FROM WITHIN

Thriving Communities is a community accelerator program designed to enhance leadership and community development throughout the region through creative placemaking. Participating teams learn strategic approaches to leverage their artistic and cultural assets in order to spark economic vibrancy and growth from within.

The 10-month program coaches leaders in community revitalization, teaching them to:

  • Identify cultural assets

  • Spark collective feedback

  • Test bold ideas

At the end of the program, each team is eligible to apply for a seed grant from the Lyndhurst Foundation to make their community strategy a reality.
