To move the world, we must first move ourselves” – Socrates. I love that quote because of what it implies. This is significant and summarizes how Parkbench Local Leaders are changing the world one community at a time. Across North America, you’ll find in this article, examples of the impact Parkbench Local Leaders are having in their communities, without even leaving their homes.

How are Parkbench Local Leaders impacting their communities? 

Parkbench local leaders are helping connect their communities by stepping up and becoming a Community Leader. Thousands of realtors who have partnered with Parkbench in their neighborhood or zipcodes are being seen as more than a realtor, but a Local Leader®.

How?

In over 10,000 communities and growing daily, Parkbench Local Leaders are doing something their competition is not by adding value to the people and businesses in their community.

They are spending a couple of hours a week interviewing and showcasing local business owners, homeowners, teachers, firefighters, police officers, local community group leaders, and so many others, on their Parkbench local platform.

The local professionals are so grateful to be featured and are enthusiastically sharing these interviews with their friends and followers on their social media platforms.

Everybody is winning; residents are finding awesome services, local businesses are gaining new customers, and Parkbench Local Leaders are growing their database of people who know like and trust them.

These interviews are being conducted in person or virtually over Zoom.
