Program domains

Priority areas for community resilience and innovation.

The Society may develop initiatives across a wide range of interconnected domains, always with a focus on co-creation, inclusion, community resilience, and long-term public benefit.

Health, Wellness & Social Prescribing

Supporting mental, physical, and collective well-being through community-connected models, experiential therapies and learning, and initiatives that link people to local supports, activities, and relationships.

Climate Resilience & Environmental Sustainability

Advancing regenerative and climate-responsive community solutions that improve preparedness, local stewardship, adaptation, and the sustainability of community systems and spaces.

Housing & Homelessness

Supporting collaborative and evidence-informed responses to housing insecurity, homelessness, and the social conditions that affect stability, dignity, and belonging.

Mobility & Active Transportation

Encouraging equitable access, connection, and healthy movement through community-centered mobility initiatives, active transportation, and place-based design that improves everyday participation.

Recreation, Learning & Community Activation

Creating programs and experiences that bring people together through recreation, skill-building, community-based learning, and shared participation in public life.

Sustainable Regeneration & Place-Based Innovation

Building local capacity for regeneration through interdisciplinary processes that connect infrastructure, social systems, public spaces, cultural strengths, and community imagination.

04

Community-led place-making and activation

We support grassroots and community-led place-making through co-creative, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral processes that build on local assets, cultural strengths, and lived experience.

This includes facilitating the community-led design of public spaces, events, and micro-infrastructure that promote belonging, collective wellness, and place-based sustainable regeneration, and that may integrate social prescribing and community-based learning opportunities.
