Building Community

Finding effective—but often elusive—solutions for civic success is a holy grail among dedicated activists. They know that “building community” is possible—but it’s always so confoundingly difficult.

News Briefs

Snapshots of What’s Been Happening Where

On January 6, Christopher King, the grandson of Blues legend B.B. King, held a 1920s-style Gentlemen’s Ball fundraiser for his organization, The Gentlemen’s Course, in the historic Fort Harrison in Clearwater, Florida.

Discover Flag & the Tampa Church

“People are curious” about Scientology, ecclesiastical leader David Miscavige said when he debuted the Scientology Network in March 2018. He opened the network by standing in the heart of the religion’s international home, the Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida. “We’ll take you through all of it,” he said. And now he has. Two new shows—on Flag and the Tampa Church—are airing on the network. Your curiosity is rewarded.

L. Ron Hubbard essay

Flourish and Prosper

Sometimes others seek to crush one down, to make nothing out of one’s hopes and dreams, one’s future and oneself.


Outlook

Making Dreams a Reality

We have some of the highest statistics in everything you don’t want to have: a high teen pregnancy rate, high dropout rates, high number of kids on free lunches, you name it.
