Join the starfish community to connect your talents and resources to world needs
Welcome to the Starfish Community website. The Starfish Community is an evolving group of individuals, associations, friends, co-workers and organizations that share a common vision to make the world a better place.
This website is a place where you can share knowledge and learn from others about 26 Service Areas of International Disaster Response and Holistic Community Development. It is a place where you can point to key resources and engage others in relevant conversation.
The Starfish Community is not owned or directed by any one organization or person, and while we hope this website will provide a valuable resource, it is also our hope that the relationships and interactions that start will grow beyond the limitations of this tool.
