Who are the 2013 Community Social Capitalists?

Honoring Community Social Capitalists is a major focus of this event. A Community Social Capitalist is a volunteer who impacts the lives of others by leveraging their personal and professional network to make a difference. Recipients may have mobilized a group to volunteer, or organized an event in their neighborhood, or brought a diverse group to work together on a common issue. Honorees personify the spirit of strengthening communities through civic engagement.

Some Social Capitalists are company leaders who are fostering an ethic of civic engagement in their company or are helping to build the capacity of important community-based organizations; some are co-workers who are inspiring their peers to give their time to help the community; and some are non-profit leaders nominated by a company for their exemplary community work.

Too often, these people are not recognized for their powerful acts of community-building. SCI seeks to change that!

Tapping the Abundance

Submitted by David B. Crowley on Mon, 04/12/2010 - 9:34am

David SpeakingI thought I'd share my opening remarks from last week's Social Capitalist Luncheon: 

In these times of scarcity, we see abundance.

On a chilly Monday night in Dorchester, Jaquan mentioned to the other SCI Dorchester Youth Council teens that it was supposed to a very cold winter. They started talking about how in this economy people were struggling to meet basic needs. Trained to act on problems they see, the council quickly devised plans for a coat drive.

Guided by Keith, the AmeriCorps member who mentors them, the Council developed a collaboration with the Burlington Coat factory. A few weeks later, on a rainy January night, Jaquan and the other Council members gathered to sort and distribute 600 winter coats. One recipient, who clearly didn’t have enough clothing to stay warm, said simply, “This coat drive is a godsend”. Read more
