Elevate Your Understanding of Human Connections

At Common Good Collective, we believe neighborhoods thrive when neighbors truly know one another. In a world that often feels isolating and divided, we're creating spaces where people can build relationships, find support, and show up for each other.

Through inclusive programs, workshops, and community partnerships, we’re working to reduce loneliness, foster belonging, and empower Richmond neighbors to care well—for themselves and for each other.

Whether you’re here to connect, contribute, or just take a first step toward community—you’re welcome.

Let’s build something good together.

Better Together

America is facing what many call a "relational recession" alongside political division. People aren't just disagreeing—they’re withdrawing, distrusting, and dehumanizing.

This place exists to help people find common ground—across politics, race, religion, and class. Everyone is welcome. Everyone has something to contribute. Everyone matters.

We believe there’s still something worth gathering around.
