A Collaborative Civic Network
for Miami-Dade, Florida

Imagine Miami is a community effort to connect people, organizations and businesses that want to improve quality of life in Miami-Dade. We also connect people to ideas and tools for action, and build hope with true stories of people who are making a difference. If you're interested in meeting people (online and face-to-face) who care about the future of Miami-Dade, and then join us.

Join our New Ning (FREE)!

A "Ning" is a social networking site, but ours is different -- it's a CIVIC network just for people who want to make Miami-Dade more just, inclusive and sustainable. Sure, there are other "social networks" for making professional contacts, finding friends, etc. But ours is for folks who want to make connections with others who share their commitment to building stronger communities, particularly at the local level.

Join our Ning now (it's easy and free) and start making these connections. Use the Imagine Miami Website as your resource center for civic change in Miami-Dade.

Other Ways to Get Involved

• Imagine Miami Action Center
  Access ideas and tools for taking action or making a commitment -- however big or small -- that helps make Miami-Dade a better place. Actions are organized by topic/issue, and include very easy actions to those that take more time and investment. This is a Wiki, so you can add your own ideas and tools!
