introduction
Grow the Community.org is a website for intentional communities to connect and interact with each other. Intentional communities are small or big groups of people that are actively cultivating the ideas of shared living and cooperation. The tools here will be useful to any style of group living: including student co-ops, ecovillages, co-housing, community farms, collectives, senior co-ops, etc.
