The Process

Every year, Center DC conducts an annual community survey to get the pulse on what our people need. The survey is live for 30 days. This year, we had 105 people respond.

Because of how unique 2020 has been, we also conducted a listening campaign to get a clearer sense of what our people have been experiencing. Thanks to 6 volunteer listeners, we were able to spend more than 40 hours interviewing 50+ community members in 1:1 conversations.

The Why

The things we learn from the survey and the listening campaign directly inform how we approach programing and what ways we serve the community in the coming year. From timing to topics to the guest speakers we invite, our learnings are played out in community! After all, Center DC is a community created by and for the community!

Then What?

Our team is in the midst of plotting out our 2021 game plan. The biggest take away is that all of our programing for 2021 will be centered around connection, inshaAllah!
