The Front Porch 🏠

Welcome to The Front Porch.

The front porch is where neighbors actually talk — no scripts, no suits, no runaround. This is a community for people who help each other figure things out: confusing processes, complicated systems, bureaucratic headaches, and whatever life throws at you next.

Hosted by Rick Souza, MSW — background in public safety, government, management, and social work. Founder, educator, and builder of practical tools that make hard processes easier.

What we do:
• Real conversations about real problems — bring yours
• Practical guidance for navigating bureaucracy
• Skill-building meetups: communication, documentation, self-advocacy
• A community of advocates, organizers, and builders who show up for each other

Who should join:
Anyone who's ever stared at the systems in front of them and thought "what do I even do next?" — plus the helpers, organizers, and founders who like fixing that kind of thing.
Pull up a chair. You're welcome here.
