Building Community Connections By Engaging the Gifts of *


*People on welfare
*People with disabilities
*People with mental disabilities
*Older adults
*Young people

    
This publication contains a group of participation stories—stories that include important lessons. They tell of communities that have found powerful ways to include the individual gifts of members who have been labeled and isolated. They tell of communities that have inventoried their associations and found ways in which formerly isolated people can participate in them. They tell of people labeled old, poor, mentally ill, disabled, young thugs who have become connected citizens. And finally they tell of those extraordinary people who know everyone—Connectors.
