Over the past year, we looked at the analytics to see what you—our users—were most interested in, and have rounded up some of the most popular content on Community Commons. A few key themes stood out. Users continue to seek out data tools to inform data-driven community change work, as well as measure well-being efforts and track progress. Resources supporting deep equity work and priority populations were also popular, as was content to support a holistic approach to community change work, like the Vital Conditions for Well-Being framework.
We offer a sincere thank you to the thousands of users who have visited Community Commons over the past year, as well as our staff, fellows, interns, contributors, partners, and clients.
