Our Mission

Community Hub creates software products that foster stronger, more sustainable, and more resilient connections among people and the natural systems upon which we depend. Our award-winning communications platform uses sophisticated data acquisition and visualization applications to simplify complexity and share the wisdom of community-focused solutions. Community Hub clients include organizations, businesses, and whole communities that are working to enhance understanding, embrace challenges, celebrate success, and foster positive initiative.

Systems thinkers: a person at the centre of a web linking civic organizations, colleges and universities, public schools, family, city government, business organizations and the ecosystem. — Environmental Dashboard helps people see themselves as part of larger wholes: families, communities, local economies, ecosystems.

Where it began

“Environmental Dashboard” (ED) is a communications platform originally developed by Oberlin College faculty and students that combines real-time feedback on resource use and environmental quality with messages drawn from community members to engage, educate, motivate and empower positive change in thought and action.
