But in terms of community leaders when we talk about community engagement, or neighborhood engagement, often the issue is the trust… and this is what I felt, even during pandemic or even after pandemic…how do people trust me as a community leader?

Doing community work online isn’t quite the same as in-person. The following resources introduce some ideas on how to design your online meetings to encourage participation and get through the agenda; what to think about when networking online for your community issue and how to use storytelling to get your important messages across to community and decision-makers.
I felt like there was just like a lot of good conversations happening, that I honestly didn’t think would happen online. I feel like when you think of online scenarios, you didn’t really think of like zoom calls. You really just thought of like somebody speaking at you and like a lecture…that was something that I wasn’t expecting…how…the conversations could really be in depth and how it could really create that flow.
