Our resiliency, our sustainability, our whole way of life should be grounded in saving the planet, so that we have a place to live

When we get back to normal, that’s going to be an exciting time to put forth new ideas on how to make things secure and sustainable for the future

What I love most about Oberlin are all the ideas that are put forth to make this a unique, diverse and sustainable community

It is a wonderful town with a lot of wonderful history. It is beautiful!

We are supportive and forward-thinking people — no matter what we come together to be a stronger community after a crisis.

I really like how supportive the community is of the arts.

During the summer, every day there is something going on in Oberlin and a lot of it is art related.

COVID makes it hard right now to stay motivated and positive — you have to decide that you are going to be resilient.

Everyone is learning how to stay resilient in different ways.

It’s easy to find caring people in Oberlin, especially the people and parents who have done programs with us.

Something that makes me happy about Oberlin is the human factor. We are accepting of people moving in and calling Oberlin home.

The school district has been phenomenal in supporting me and my kids, always helping us get what we need.

People can support local businesses by buying gift cards from restaurants for future use.

I live right on the bike path — it's fantastic to be able to sit on the deck and connect with people.

PCs for People’ has partnered with the school to make sure students have laptops — I’ve really witnessed the community come together

I love that even in difficult times we pull together

In the schools the energy levels are tracked — that’s really cool

It takes just one person to start something, one person

Access to the bike trail and natural spaces is huge for this small community

What it comes down to is being able to help. Whether in frustration or in happiness, I’m willing to share to help meet community needs

I love the closeness, uniqueness and diversity of Oberlin

Part of my religious and spiritual development is the recognition humans are part of the web of life — if we abuse the link with our environment we pay the consequences

Oberlin’s future appeared in danger many times. It has survived and developed the optimistic view that we are too important to fail

Oberlin was established by people who had the conviction that society’s greatest ills could nevertheless be reformed

Oberlin is the only place where I’d want to raise my family. I’m a person who wholeheartedly believes in our little town
