About Where We Live >
Where We Live is designed to catalyze and facilitate community-led solutions
toward a common vision for a region that is thriving, progressive, and
culturally diverse-a region that is better able to attract and retain young talent.
Through its program and activities, Where We Live supports the innovative
ideas of young people (18-50 years of age), thereby developing their leadership
potential and increasing their level of investment in the Brunswick County
community. Young people can be effective change agents; and by providing
young people the opportunity to develop and execute their own initiatives,
Where We Live directly affects the landscape of tomorrow's civic and
philanthropic community.
Where We Live provides the resources to take the civic initiatives of young
people from ideas to reality and builds the capacity of young people to leverage
their low threshold capital investments into high impact community results,
which create a critical mass of activity for positive regional change.
Where We Live engages and empowers young people, serving those who
demonstrate the drive and the capacity to think creatively about their
communities. They are the doers who have innovative ideas that have the
potential to become initiatives that can affect real change in a community. They
are artists, designers, entrepreneurs, students, professors, musicians,
photographers, performers, outdoor adventurers, and writers. While they may
not yet be well known or recognized, they are the emerging leaders of the
region. They are as varied in their interests as they are diverse culturally,
racially, and ethnically. They join networks-civic and professional-that
surround them with people of like interests. They care about creating change
and building a culture of inclusion and collaboration among young people and
their communities. They set trends, take action, and influence the perceptions of
others.
