Change happens person by person, project by project, community by community.
People across the Groundwork Network are making that change real! They’re organizing, stepping up as mentors, supporting youth, and working together to care for their communities.
This year, we invited Groundwork Affiliates to nominate the people who are making a difference—the neighbors, volunteers, youth, organizers, and partners who show up, lead with vision, and make change happen every day.
This celebration shines a light on what’s often in the background of our collective work: the dedication, persistence, and hope that drive this work forward.
And here’s the most inspiring part: For every person we’re celebrating here, there are countless others across the Groundwork Network organizing, planting, building, teaching, mentoring, envisioning, and leading the transformation their communities deserve.
