They say that sharing is caring. But what does sharing look like in real life, in our neighborhoods?

ioby Leaders are sharing powerhouses. They share their time and talents to make their communities better places to live, play, work, worship, and relax. And because all ioby projects must have a public benefit, our Leaders’ visions are focused on sharing, too: of resources, knowledge, enthusiasm… you get the idea.

And all that sharing does a lot of good. Sharing brings people closer together, makes our communities stronger and more resilient in the face of challenges, and makes our neighborhoods better places to live.

To celebrate these great contributions to the greater good—and to inspire YOU to start your own sharing initiative where you live—we’ve gathered three favorite sharing-based projects from the ioby movement.
