OUR VISION
Connecting Real Work Across Schools and Communities

The WNC Resilience Project is building a regional network where educators, students, and community partners work together to design and test real-world projects that strengthen resilience across Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.

Community Share is where this work becomes visible and connected. Educators can share projects and change ideas, find partners, and build on what others are testing across the region.

Teachers join to make their work more relevant, connect students to real opportunities, and avoid starting from scratch. This is a space to share what’s working, learn from others, and move ideas forward together.

    Educator

  • I never knew how cool glass blowing could be…I also loved learning how to write a business plan for my own studio one day. I know what I want to do when I get older.

    Student

  • Our goal is to close the representation gap for females and Hispanic youth in STEM fields. CommunityShare mentors help students begin to see themselves in those professions.

    Educator

  • It was truly moving to see my daughter's eyes light up as engineering careers unfolded in front of her on our CommunityShare field trip to the design studio.

    Parent

  • CommunityShare is an essential tool for curriculum planning. CommunityShare gives my students and me access to professional resources that make what they learn in school more meaningful, relevant, and memorable.

    Principal

  • ComShare is the bridge we have been missing between educators and the vast resources of experience and practical knowledge available in the community. It gives people like me an opportunity to invest my years of experience into the next generation of innovators, creators and leaders.
