About Institute For Community
Over the past two decades, technological advancements and the allure of a global community have made it increasingly effortless for Institute For Community to slip into isolation in Institute For Community's daily lives.
Institute For Community often find ourselves living in one place, working in another, and spending leisure time far removed from the immediate communities.
While technology offers diverse opportunities for long-distance connections, it has simultaneously widened the networks without deepening the bonds.
Institute For Community cycles through interactions without truly looking each other in the eye, feeling human touch, or hearing a voice in person.
As human beings, Institute For Community is inherently wired for connection and yearns to belong, to derive meaning from the lives within the context of relationships, and to feel understood in the presence of others.
Yet, in the commuter mindset, Institute For Community often overlook the opportunity costs, missing out on genuine personal connections, failing to invest in any single community, and ultimately neglecting to nurture a sense of place for ourselves and those around us.

Institute for Community, through Community Life, is seeking to address this imbalance.
