Close to Home
Close to Home began when a local group of neighbors recognized domestic violence
as an important issue in their community, and gathered together to do something
about it. Close to Home has pioneered an innovative approach to community engagement
with their campaign to involve grass-roots community members in working for change.
Put quite simply, community engagement strategies meet community members where they
are (psychologically, emotionally, socially, and physically) and harness community
energy and assets on issues that affect them. Close to Home has been recognized
for outstanding social innovation achievement by the Social Innovation Forum of
Boston. Please learn more about Close To Home at their website c2home.org
