July’s word is collaboration: thinking together to solve problems.
Like teamwork, collaboration involves believing in a cause bigger than yourself and working toward a greater good. We see this happening all over our community each day, and it is certainly a value we want to lift up in our young people. As we gather together again after the pandemic, we will see so many opportunities for collaboration that we can take advantage of, and possibly even appreciate more than ever.
At home or in your organization, how can you encourage collaboration to solve problems?
