HIVE LIVE Building Ecosystems of Care: Community, Connection, and Wellbeing in the Social Impact Sector
This event is hosted on LinkedIn. Registration is required to attend.
Community isn’t just a “nice to have.” It’s infrastructure.
Nonprofit and social impact work is built on relationships — yet so many practitioners and leaders are doing that work in isolation, under pressure, and without the support they need to sustain themselves.
What if we treated community not as engagement strategy… but as a public health strategy?
This conversation explores ecosystem building, connection, and communities of care across the social impact sector. We’ll bring together movement builders from different regions to share how they are designing spaces that reduce isolation, strengthen resilience, and support practitioners over the long haul.
Because building impact without building care?
That model is breaking down.
Date: Tuesday, May 26, 2026
Time: 12:30–1:30 PM ET
Location: LinkedIn Live
What We’ll Explore:
What it actually means to “build an ecosystem” — not just run a program or network
How to move beyond one-off events into ongoing spaces of connection and support
What a true “community of care” looks like for nonprofit practitioners and founders
How to center wellbeing and human connection while still moving systems-level goals forward
Simple, practical ways to strengthen community in your own context

Facilitator: Tasha Van Vlack | Co-Director, Community & Marketing, Nonprofit Hive & Founder & Community Strategist, Community Hives
This conversation isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about building the kind of relational foundation that makes change sustainable.
Because resilient systems require connected people.
