To create a better world, we must rebuild our communities. A community is a group
of individuals who work together for the good of all members of the group. A community
can be a family, friends, neighbors, a nation, or the world. Communities give
us a sense of belonging and purpose.
Starting a BetterWorld Club is a way to build community and find fellowship, encouragement,
guidance and direction in our lives as we work to create a better world.
Your BetterWorld Club might consist of members of your family, your place of worship,
classmates in school, friends and neighbors, or co-volunteers in a charitable
organization.
Or
your BetterWorld Club might be a virtual one that you start on one of the many
internet social networking portals such as: WiserEarth.org, Change.org, Idealist.org,
Zaadz.com, Care2.com and PeacePortal.ning.com.
BetterWorld
Clubs is a grassroots network. There is no registration fee. It is not centrally
organized by any one group or organization, but when you start one, you are connected
to the global movement for a better world. BetterWorldClubs.com offers more than
3000 free printable resources for BetterWorld Clubs. Anyone can use these resources.
The
golden rule for Betterorld Clubs is respect for each member and a focus on encouraging
living a life of compassion to create a better world.
Hold
regular meetings. Discuss this book and your ideas for a better world. Have a
House Party to introduce others to the BetterWorld Movement. Organize and work
together on a local project or event to strengthen your BetterWorld Club and spread
hope that a better world is possible.
What
Do Better World Clubs Do?
A
popular BetterWorld Clubs activity is to read and discuss "We Can Create
A Better World" together (you can print from the internet FREE) and share
it with everyone you know.

A
great way to get friends and neighbors involved is to invite them to see a film
about a particular better world issue your BetterWorld Clubs chapter is interested
in. Your BetterWorld Clubs chapter can rent FREE films on better world issues
from TheFilmConnetion.org
Your
BetterWorld Clubs chapter can borrow
Films on
a number of BetterWorld issues
FREE
from
TheFilmConnection.org
a national public film library |
Another
important tool for all BetterWorld Clubs is the Better World Shopping Guide. This
pocket-sized book will help you make easy spending choices for a better world
and show you that every dollar counts. As more and more people make their spending
decisions based on better world principles, we will help transform our economy
into a more socially responsible and sustainable system.
Your
BetterWorld Club can get involved with a local charity that is addressing your
betterworld path, or you can help by providing a nonprofit with a tax-deductible
donation. Check out Idealist.org for the most comprehensive directory of nonprofits
in every part of the world.
Most
Betterorld Clubs find that working together on a project for a better world in
their community helps strengthen their Betterorld Club and spread hope that a
better world is possible. Better World Days like Diversity Day, Tolerance Day,
End Hunger Day and Peace Day are perfect occasions for creating community-building
events and activities.
