The Resilience Series: Building Stronger Communities Together
Resilience is more than a buzzword—it’s the foundation of healthy schools, thriving neighborhoods, and strong communities.
This two-part Resilience Series invites you to explore how local leaders are creating innovative, nature-based solutions that address today’s challenges—from youth mental health to food systems to disaster response.
Join us for two powerful, hands-on gatherings in Davidson and Huntersville this August. You’ll connect with mission-driven community members, learn practical strategies for resilience, and experience firsthand how education and nature-based practices can transform our future.
Featuring leadership from Madison County Community Learning Centers, Cicada Institute & Holistic Consulting
