Why are we doing this?
One of the main objectives of CitizenPowered.org is to build the social capital (defined as the number, quality and utility of social networks)—of communities. Social capital is the building block of communities. It is the relationships within communities and across communities that help everything from neighborhood watches to job training programs to wetlands preservation happen. Every community has social capital, and nearly every community has gaps that social capital can help fill.
