A group of community members including principals, clergy, and First Selectman, Rudy Marconi, are on a mission to make Ridgefield a "City of Compassion".
A national movement anchored by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Charter of Compassion was born in 2008 when Karen Armstrong won the TED Prize and made a wish: for help creating, launching and propagating a Charter for Compassion.
Becoming a City of Compassion doesn't happen overnight, it takes time and hard work by community members passionate and dedicated to its mission. To that end, First Selectman Rudy Marconi and members of Project Resilience have unveiled The Compassion Project, a town-wide initiative with a mission of encouraging and promoting programs and initiatives that foster and maintain a culture of compassionate success in Ridgefield.
Stay tuned for details and town events that will help Ridgefield to reach the ultimate goal of being a City of Compassion.
