In our second episode of the Voices of Local Leaders series, we interview David Carter, one of the facilitators for the ‘Neighborhood Leadership Program’ (NLP) from the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven. After 30 years working as a project manager, David decided to shift his career and dedicate his efforts to help local leaders make a difference in their communities. From being the professional that was expected to have all the answers to embracing the unexpected challenges of community development, David’s journey has been centered in listening and learning. Not by chance, both attitudes constitute two of the main pillars of the NLP program. But they are not fundamental only for creative, community problem-solving. They also embody essential aspects of critical thinking and the scientific mindset we foster here at Science Yourself. We truly believe that David’s experience and perspectives illustrate how everyone can benefit from an empathetic, scientifically literate community!
