For the last few years it seems that people are having a hard time being hopeful about the future. The bitter political division in our country makes that harder. Yet, lots of things are being done by every-day people to get us out of this mess. People are following their heart all over the country and making a difference. We need to know that we can do little things that make a difference, so that we do not get overwhelmed.

Every week Carla Kjellberg brings you stories of people making a difference. In conversations that you would want to have at your kitchen table she explores issues important to families with people of leadership, compassion and wisdom. It Takes a Village provides a home for inspiring stories of people who found a way to contribute in a profound way.
