CST Community Investor Onboarding

In July 2025, we hosted our first-ever Community Stewardship Trust (CST) Investor Onboarding events—and y’all showed up! With two events at The MURPH and West End Library, we introduced members of our inaugural CST Board to 30310 neighbors and walked through the steps of becoming CST co-owners together.

These weren’t just sign-up sessions, these onboardings were love letters to collective power.

Our first group of Community Investors wrote real letters to community power, to share with friends and family and invite them into the SWATS CST stewardship journey.

For many attendees, these events were also their first introduction to our CST Orientation Course. Developed out of last year’s Solidarity Summer workshops, this interactive, self-paced, online orientation guides community investors through how the CST works, why collective ownership matters, and how investments flow directly into community-held properties like the CST’s first site at 918 Dill Ave.

We guided participants through a tech walkthrough, interactive lessons, and videos to make it easy to dive into the content.
