Learn
Since 1998, over 1,000 Your Town Alabama alumni have returned to their communities with motivation and tools to influence change in their communities and had significant positive impacts. We believe those impacts have helped improve Alabama.
The Board, facilitators, and speakers volunteer their time to develop the curriculum and train citizens for positive engagement in their community. Evidence of success can be found in the case studies. Additional opportunities for learning can be found in recordings of our webinars. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date with upcoming sessions. Also be sure to check our handy summary of the design process with glossary.
Stories
Alabama is a place with stories to tell. YTA’s alumni, partners, and everyday Alabamians have transformed challenges into triumphs worth celebrating. Their stories capture the spirit, resilience, and heart that makes Alabama a truly remarkable home. We invite you to explore these uplifting narratives and celebrate the achievements that define our community.
Conversations
YTA knows that strong communities are built when they consider people, places and nature. Through videos you can watch on your lunch hour, this series captures how to preserve and strengthen a sense of community, showcasing techniques to identify and build on a community’s unique assets and make our surroundings worth caring about. Through a collaboration with the Landmarks Foundation of Montgomery, these videos feature insightful conversations with experts in economic development, sustainable design, historic preservation, and more. Through real-world success stories, they offer practical ideas and inspiration for shaping the future of your community.
