Chattanooga Venturing is a long-running community-development initiative that brings together civic and business leaders to take on collaborative tech projects across the Chattanooga area. The program draws on local history of grassroots-led economic transformation — with a focus on practical, hands-on work rather than abstract strategy.

Two core components: the Venturing Study Group, a working forum for the frameworks and the case studies; and the Facilitator Bank, a network of experienced practitioners who help member organizations move projects forward.

Note: The Venturing program is moving to the Eduity website in the near future. This page will eventually redirect to the Eduity-hosted version. In the meantime, the canonical content lives here.

The Venturing Study Group works through community-development frameworks adapted for civic technology, drawing on local Chattanooga history of community-led economic transformation. The group meets regularly to read source material, work through case studies, and connect frameworks to ongoing local projects.

Open to anyone interested in the intersection of community development and civic technology. Pre-join the co-op to get notified when the next session is scheduled.
