Listen First Friday

My Neighbor’s Voice was the focus of Listen First Friday on September 23, 2022.

In this short video, Mary Anne Inglis and Victoria Chance, co-founders of My Neighbor's Voice, describe the premise of their nonprofit. 

My Neighbor's Voice Listening Cards are a deck of community questions designed to inspire deeper communication between participants of all backgrounds.

In practice, this is achieved by the help of a trained moderator, who creates a safe and hospitable space. The moderator also keeps each speaker to a 3 minute time limit which allows for an equitable experience for everyone.

Participating in a My Neighbor's Voice listening session requires listening without pushback, as commentary is held until the end during a moderated reflection. As a result, participants walk away with a deeper understanding of their neighbors and growing from the experience. 

Weave: The Social Fabric Project

Hear from co-founder Victoria Chance in her lightning talk on the work of My Neighbor’s Voice for the Aspen Institute’s Weave: The Social Fabric Project. Named as such because they call people who build social trust in their communities “weavers.”.

Victoria discusses how using a deck of listening cards and a no-interruption conversation can bring neighbors together to listen generously, share stories and discuss community issues.
