Social Change Reimagined

The John and Abigail Center For Social Change provides services for families, individuals and neighborhoods to help transform their lives. These include newly pioneered courses, events and consulting.

We live in a time when our ability to communicate from a distance is astounding. If this newfound ability to communicate is not checked, it can also become society’s Achilles heel.

The Center fulfills its purpose by adding substance to local face-to-face interaction while optimizing distant relations in each different role. We help connect a person’s local and distant friends to join the process of personal, family and neighborhood change. [Read More]https://www.barbieinablender.org
