Don't ignore the power of community engagement! Building strong ties within the community is essential for charter schools to grow and thrive. Yet, many leaders overlook the significance of community engagement in their enrollment strategies. Collaborating with local organizations, hosting community events, and fostering relationships with neighborhood real estate agents can significantly boost enrollment numbers.

In my journey through the Community Renewal International Experience, I've been captivated by the #profound impact of their initiatives on community transformation. Continuing with our week's focus on #SystemsOrchestrators, today's highlight is the remarkable work of the Community Renewal Team. 🌍🌿 The Renewal Team's mission is profound: to #identify, #align, and #mobilize caring individuals across communities. They're the backbone of a movement that shifts societal focus towards positive, actionable care. At speaking events in churches, businesses, and civic groups, they ignite the "We Care Movement," transforming community self-image through visible acts of kindness. 🌏💡 In 2018, CRI volunteers, contributing an astonishing 39,389 minutes, provided an in-kind value worth $976,847! This statistic is a powerful testament to the immense impact of volunteerism, a core element of the Renewal Team's strategy. They demonstrate how volunteer efforts can lay the groundwork for a robust system of relationships, the very essence of a caring community. 🤲🌱 Today, I'm celebrating Sharpel Welch, EDD, MBA, the Director of the Renewal Team. Sharpel's journey from an Army veteran and educator to her pivotal role in #CRI exemplifies the essence of a Systems Orchestrator. Her approach - "What do you have?" in response to "What do you need?" - reflects a mindset of #resourcefulness and community #empowerment. 👩🏫🔗 Sharpel's leadership has propelled the Renewal Team to new heights, crafting a culture of caring that permeates the Shreveport-Bossier region. It's a culture where every act of #kindness is a building block towards a united and #resilient community. 🏘️🤗 But it's more than just mobilizing volunteers; it's about discovering and nurturing Systems Orchestrators within the community. People like Sharpel, who started as a #volunteer and now guide others, demonstrate how local leadership can foster #sustainable, community-led development. 🌍🌿 Join me tomorrow as we continue to explore the Community Renewal International model and its remarkable #impact. Each day is a new chapter in understanding how collective impact and Systems Orchestrators can reshape our communities for the better. Stay tuned! 💫🌈 Check out Community Renewal International's work and see how you can support their mission: https://lnkd.in/ewSEm3qv #CommunityRenewal #SystemsOrchestrators #CommunityImpact #Volunteerism #CollectiveImpact #KilimoCollective #CommunityRenewalInternational #ValueOfVolunteers

The "Ladder of Participation" is a framework that always fires people up in my Inclusive Planning and Responsive Strategy workshop - this brilliant tool draws on the Ladder and deepens, updates, and details the different ways communities can have power (or not) in decision making. Such a great way to think about how organizations can shift power and decision making to those most impacted.

How can you get connected with your community?
