LBC #115 London Speakers, Podcast Episode with Ruthie Berber & New Local Chapters live!

Hello, fellow Community Builders! 👋

We’ve got exciting news brewing across the globe—from London to Lisbon, Barcelona to Denver—and we can’t wait to share it all with you.

Let’s kick things off with London Community Week—now just 13 days away! 🇬🇧

The full agenda is live, and it’s everything we dreamed of: a strategy hackathon, hands-on workshops, panels, and an unconference (no slides, no fluff—just real talk). Plus, we’re gathering 200+ brilliant community minds under one roof.

🎧 And if you haven’t tuned in yet, the brand-new Community Week Podcast hosted by Kateryna Bova is your backstage pass to all the big ideas.

Meanwhile, our Local Chapters are blooming! 🌍

Shoutout to Tzufit Herling for launching Led by Community Lisbon, with an event full of purpose, authenticity, and wisdom from local leaders navigating new cultures and designing community with care. Check out the recap on LinkedIn.

And hats off to James Thornton and Disha Pegu for kicking off Led by Community Barcelona with beachside vibes, shared pizza, and a buzzing crowd of new friends.

Next up on the local chapter front? We’re heading to Toronto and Denver!

On July 3, Anita Chauhan will be launching our Toronto Chapter—get ready for an evening of connection, creativity, and community magic.

Then on August 6, Lori Goldman is bringing the energy to Denver with a casual coworking and lunch meetup to kick things off. We can’t wait!

Big love to both Anita and Lori for stepping up as Chapter Leaders—you’re helping community builders find their people around the world.

And finally…

We’re officially in motion with our Mentorship Program! 🌱

With 64 mentees and 40 mentors already signed up, we’re building a space for real growth and real connections. But here’s the deal: we need more mentors. If you’ve been thinking about giving back, this is your moment.

⏳ Applications close June 30—come help shape the future of community building.

Keep scrolling for the latest updates, fresh content, and exciting announcements! From emerging trends in community building to 90+ job opportunities that might just be your next big leap—there’s plenty waiting for you below.

Your friends,
Francisco, Paôla & the Led by Community Team of Volunteers
