"Front Porch Forum (FPF) hosts a network of online neighborhood forums that blankets an entire metro area. More than 30% of its pilot city, Burlington, VT, takes an active part, connecting with neighbors, building community and partaking in grassroots democracy. This consistently gives rise to face-to-face conversation and community action, leading to safer neighborhoods, citizen campaigns and direct input into local decision-making. FPF seeks support to increase participation, expand into one other community and develop a replicable model.
"Our goal is cultural change away from isolation and toward connectedness and involvement, regardless of personal and political differences," said Michael. "Neighborhood connection is the draw. Many of us long to know our neighbors and plug into our surroundings." | | Gender | Age | | | Male | 42 |  | | Profile Views | | | 30 times | |  | | Hometown | Country | | Burlington, VT | United States |  | | Michael Wood-Lewis's URL | | http://www.bebo.com/MichaelW4568 |  | | Member Since | | | March 2008 | |
