Elk Community

A neighborhood hub for events, interest groups and neighbors who need a hand.

The outreach map and member data are never shown; screenshots are of the public site.

Why it matters

Walking groups, book clubs and neighbors needing a hand already existed; there was just no single place to see them. Elk Community gives the neighborhood that place, with a volunteer-run back office for keeping it current.
