Hub Courses and Events
Embedded Files
A Village Hub is a designated gathering place in your neighborhood where trained volunteers share essential information and match people’s needs with available resources. Hubs make a huge difference when phones and other systems are not working (More about Hubs here).
Hub Pop-Up Demo. At this event, the volunteers creating a Hub in the Dry Creek neighborhood in San Jose will set up a demo to educate neighbors about what a Hub is and how it works. People from outside the neighborhood are also welcome to stop by and check it out. Great intro to get a sense of a Hub.

Core Group Course
Core Group Course
Experience the peace of mind of knowing your neighborhood team is ready. Feel the satisfaction of giving back to your community in a very tangible way. You'll join with others create a Hub Core Group in the immediate area where you live. Core Groups are the volunteers that organize a local Hub.
This five-part project-based workshop provides training and a supportive community for dedicated volunteers who want to establish a new Village Hub location. Includes strategies for community outreach to expand the circle of neighbors supporting the Hub, and simple structures and practices to lay the foundation for an inclusive organizational culture that will sustain the Hub for years to come. The 2025 Core Group Cohort will meet online:

7:00 - 8:30 PM PT on Tuesday evenings:

In addition to class sessions, modest homework (no more than about 30 mins, with two weeks to complete it) will be assigned. Participants are also expected to be planning or launching a Hub as their class project, and to share progress and setbacks with the group so they can get support from the cohort.
