[Communications] New Language for Website: Who We Are

[Amy Olson]

I just updated this. I feel like we need to also include something that touches on the network and the resources that are shared.

CCGA helps to find solutions to common challenges such as leadership transitions, access to safe water and land, and community organizing as well as provide resources and a platform for gardeners to connect and share knowledge.

CCGA is composed of working groups that meet regularly to support community gardens as a vehicle for building sustainable communities and enriching the natural ecosystem in Chicago and beyond. We are committed to creating a space where each voice and perspective is appreciated and heard. We support and encourage the participation of every individual. While Chicago's neighborhood gardens are our immediate focus, we have the potential to engage with other areas through our teams of Communication, Education, Resources and Distribution, and Advocacy and Outreach because many issues affect our larger shared environment.
