Community Building | Frenly Divine

Community building is a multifaceted field that encompasses various practices aimed at creating or enhancing a sense of community among individuals with shared interests or needs. This can be achieved through simple events like potlucks and book clubs, or larger-scale efforts such as festivals and construction projects that involve local participants. With a growing body of research highlighting its benefits for mental health, social capital, and civic engagement, community building is recognized as a vital component of social cohesion. The Boston Community Gardens project has brought together local residents to create green spaces and promote community engagement, resulting in a significant increase in social capital and community cohesion.
