Third Places And Community Connectors

In his book The Great Good Place, Oldenburg writes about what he refers to as “Third Places,” those places in every community where locals gather to visit, share news and be among others. Such places are a great spot to meet the neighborhood “connectors” (those people who know everyone else) and to assist someone to become a “regular” in a neighborhood place. Read more about third places and how this can involve staff in supporting community connections for the individuals they support.
