Chesapeake Community Connect is an interactive map webapp that aims to showcase the resilience of the Chesapeake region through a user-friendly platform, where community members can share information on a spectrum of initiatives, each contributing to our collective ability to thrive amidst change. From ecological restoration to placemaking and racial healing, our platform serves as a dynamic hub for collaborative learning. We aim to inspire innovation and cultivate a deeper understanding of the diverse resilience work contributed within our communities.

Under the map tab, select the "Create a Post" button. A couple fields will pop up asking for a title, description, address, city, state, and ZIP for the Pin you want to put on the map.
