for the people, by the people

for the people, by the people 〰️
Most everyday people care about what’s happening in the world. But between burnout, information overload, systemic helplessness, and the fear of being cancelled, doing something that actually makes a difference feels impossible. Until now.
We are your third space, your take-action gym, your lefty Group chat, — —- all in one.
The Social Good Collective (SGC) is a members-only, private community — part learning lab, part rest-and-repair space, and part activation hub — built for everyday people who crave clarity, community, and a way to act on what they already feel.

a virtual community center 〰️
Our programming is designed to greet your full self.
Because you don’t live a single-issue life. You’re not just a worker. Not just a parent or best friend.
You’re a full person—layered, complex, brilliant — and that full self is exactly what this world needs more of.
But we’re taught to compartmentalize. To shrink. To separate our care from our convictions, our joy from our power.
As if our humanity — in its fullness — is something to be contained rather than unleash.
At the Social Good Collective, we reject that — which is why we have three streams of programming: self, collective and community care.
We designed this space to meet people where they are, and to normalize showing up fully.
Because your full self is your humanity unleashed. And your full self is a unique combination of lived and learned knowledge that is needed to shift our collective culture from one of overwhelm and apathy to one of care and activation.

SELF care
This is about resourcing people to move through the world with clarity, confidence, and self-determined power — especially in systems that were not built for them.
We meet people where they are: burnt out, underpaid, unsure where to start — and offer tools that shift them from surviving to self-authoring.
Programming includes:
LinkedIn for Liberation & workplace self-advocacy
Budgeting, financial literacy & housing rights
Storytelling, goal-setting & public speaking
Skill-building sessions on boundaries, burnout, and time management
Peer support for chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence
Rest practices, journaling, creative expression spaces
-
community care
These spaces offer real connection: peer support circles, identity-based groups, and shared moments of joy, grief, and reflection. Whether you’re navigating burnout, chronic illness, grief, parenting, or identity — you don’t have to do it alone.
Because sometimes the most radical thing isn’t taking action — it’s being seen, heard, and held by people who actually understand.
This is what community care is built for.
Programming includes:
Affinity groups (BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, chronic illness, youth, Men+, white accountability, etc.)
Joy-forward events: comedy shows, open mics, creative hangs
Healing circles: grief processing, somatics, rest rooms
Cultural gatherings: storytelling salons, jazz nights, art builds
Seasonal rituals, community meals, vibe-based convenings
Book/culture clubs rooted in identity or shared emotional experience
-
collective care
It’s for the moments when you feel overwhelmed by the news but don’t know what to do. For when you want to say something at work or home, but freeze. For when you care deeply but wonder: Where do I start?
Programming includes:
Spaces to make sense of the chaos — without shame or jargon
Narrative workshops that help you name what feels off — and say it out loud
Expert-led teach-ins that break down what’s happening (and who benefits)
Guided practice in how to speak up — with family, at work, in your community
Skill-building to organize, campaign, or support others in taking action
Clubs, watch parties, and culture convos that make political learning fun, not exhausting
Real-time collective responses to what’s unfolding in the world — so you’re not alone in your care
-
Solidarity Care
Yes, the virtual community centre will be full of events, but that is just a part of why we exist. The second part? Making it easy to take action by sharing ways to take action — organizations to donate to, petitions to sign, initiatives to volunteer with, and more.
We’re amplifying grassroots initiatives and organizations we trust — especially those led by communities who’ve long been dehumanized in this country.
Curated Calls To Action
Petitions, letter-writing campaigns, and digital advocacy
Direct actions, protests, sit-ins, and solidarity marches
Mutual aid asks, donation drives, and supply drop-off
Volunteer opportunities with grassroots and community-led initiatives
Real-time calls to action tied to breaking news or policy decisions
Local events, teach-ins, and public forums to build collective pressure
Signal-boosting and storytelling that amplifies frontline organizers
Action guides tailored by location, issue area, and time commitment*
Over the next year, we're building a searchable call-to-action directory—filterable by location, issue, and time commitment. You can preview version one now at our sister site, 15tgaf.ca

“It takes a village” isn’t a feel-good slogan —it’s our strategy
Our offerings and ecosystem are intentionally co-created to center a wide range of voices, lived experiences, and ways of contributing—because community care can’t be one-size-fits-all. If we want sustained engagement and real impact, our infrastructure has to reflect the people it’s meant to serve. That’s not just values-driven—it’s strategic design.
