Start projects in your neighborhood with the New Dream Community Action Kit. Want to realize a new American Dream in your town but don't know how to get started? The Community Action Kit is for you!
The Community Action Kit is a creative, fun, and easy-to-use online resource that promotes collective action and civic engagement to build more sustainable, healthier, and happier communities. The Kit consists of a series of free guides to help people around the country organize and implement projects in their own neighborhoods. Each guide includes concrete project ideas, step-by-step tips, videos stories, and more.
Guide to Sharing
The first guide in the New Dream Community Action Kit is all about sharing: everything from starting a tool library to organizing a solar cooperative, from holding a clothing swap to launching a time bank. With how-to tips, fun videos, and useful resources, the Guide to Sharing provides the inspiration and practical tools you need to get started on these projects in your community - right away!
The guide is produced in collaboration with Shareable and explores four Action Ideas to help communities share more:
Organize a Community Swap - with a focus on clothing swaps
Lend Locally - with a focus on tool libraries
Share Time, Labor, and Skills - with a focus on time banks
Set up a Co-op - with a focus on solar co-ops

Guide to Going Local
The second guide in the New Dream Community Action Kit will help you go local. It's full of ideas and advice on how to strengthen the local economy in your town: through buying local, highlighting new entrepreneurs, instilling local pride, investing locally, and more. With how-to tips, fun videos, and useful resources, the Guide to Going Local will provide the inspiration and practical tools you need to get started on these projects in your community - right away!
