About Weave: The Social Fabric Project at the Aspen Institute

Weave: The Social Fabric Project, an initiative of the Aspen Institute, addresses the crisis of broken social trust and isolation in America. It identifies, connects, and supports "weavers", local leaders who build deep relationships, foster belonging, and bring people together to address shared needs within their communities. The project aims to inspire a national movement towards relationalism, moving away from individualism to create a more caring and connected society. Weave provides resources, training, and funding opportunities to these community builders. It offers an online community for peer support and learning, a search engine to find local weaving organizations, and a Speakers Bureau to amplify the message of social trust. Through these initiatives, Weave empowers individuals and organizations to strengthen their local social fabric, fostering trust and collaboration to tackle community challenges.
