✨ Activity: Exploring My Community Resource Map

When building your network, ask open-ended questions to encourage meaningful conversation. Focus on what you want to learn, and give others space to share—then listen.

Questions starting with what or how invite fuller responses (e.g., “What projects have you enjoyed working on?”). Avoid closed questions starting with when, where, do, or have, which often lead to one-word answers. Be cautious with why questions, as they can feel confrontational.

Equally important: listen with curiosity, openness, and empathy.
