Beach Vibes at GOAB and Welcoming New Collaborations
October was definitely a whirlwind for us. We hosted the Innovation Community Builders Unconference 2024 right after our team building activity, had two of our volunteers featured in the StellarPH PH100 list, and opened applications for our 2025 volunteer cohort.
Check out our facebook post about the different communities in Cebu, Davao, and Pampanga who were represented in our unconference, and their respective leads who took their time to travel to Bohol to talk about pain points, best practices, and future activities we could collaborate together on to better our practice as community builders.
Welcome as well to our new batch of volunteers! Hopefully you won't regret spending your time with us by 2026 haha.
Read on to see what else is fertilizing.
