About Us: We're all About Community
Vision and Mission
The Community Solution is a program of Community Service, Inc. Community Service is dedicated to the development, growth and enhancement of small local communities. We envision a country where the population is distributed in small communities that are sustainable, diverse and culturally sophisticated.
Our History
Community Service was founded in 1940 as an educational institution focused on the ideas and practices of small community and the appraisal, development and circulation of these ideas and practices.
Our Founder
Community Service was founded by Arthur E. Morgan, educator, businessman and executive. He was the first president of the TVA and the president of Antioch University.
Our Own Small Local Community
Community Service is located in the village of Yellow Springs, Ohio and has actively been involved in the practices of community in the village. Yellow Springs is also the home of Antioch College and represents many of the positive elements of the small community as we define it.
Our Intentional Community
Located on the edge of Yellow Springs is the Vale, an intentional community founded by Griscom Morgan, the son of Arthur Morgan, and Jane Morgan, his wife and President Emeritus of Community Service. The Vale practices the principles of the small community as well as owning all land in common and a focus on sharing by and caring of the members.
Joining and Contributing
We invite you to join Community Service and participate in the upcoming re-evolution of our country. We also request you contribute to our activities and hasten the day when small communities are again dominant in our culture.
