“Communities Are Built on Care”


As we approach the holiday season, it's a time to reflect on what truly makes a community. It’s not just the buildings or roads—it’s the way we care for each other, especially those in need. On the Community Catalysts   podcast this week, we revisit Otis White’s Civic Strategies interview with Kathy Swahn, then Executive Director of The Drake House in Roswell, Georgia. Kathy’s story is a heartwarming reminder of how compassion and collaboration can transform lives.


Here’s what you’ll take away:


  • The Power of Partnership: See how civic, corporate, and faith communities work together to uplift families in crisis.


  • From Vision to Vital Resource: Follow the journey of a small class project evolving into a lifeline for homeless mothers and their children.


  • Inspiration for Leadership: Discover how innovative leadership drives meaningful change during challenging times.


Tune in for inspiration on how to make a difference this season—and every season. Together, we can foster communities of care and connection.

Ilryong Moon came to the United States from Korea at 17. He didn’t speak much English. His family had little money. His parents, both undereducated, worked long hours to support their children in a new and unfamiliar country. Ilryong repeated a year of high school just to learn the language. From there, he went on to graduate from Harvard, build a successful law career, and eventually serve for decades on the school board of one of the nation’s largest—and most diverse—school districts.

Last week, local leaders from across the country came together for a 90-minute virtual conversation about the words we use, the values we hold, and the challenges we face. Mayors, council members, and civic officials shared candid insights—not just about policy, but about how everyday language now feels risky, and how they stay grounded in community service. Here’s what they shared.
