About You
Let's start with the basics. All information is kept confidential and used only for selection purposes.
Your Grassroots Work
We want to understand the community work you're doing and who you serve. Priority goes to leaders actively rooted in their communities.
Focus Area & Cohort
The summit is organized into three working cohorts. Select the one that best matches your experience and the solutions you want to develop.
Trauma-informed leadership, community violence and healing, mental health access, burnout among grassroots leaders
Transitional housing models, education stability, workforce pathways, prevention strategies for unhoused youth
Food access inequities, community food systems, nutrition and public health, local agriculture partnerships
Your Story
This is your space to speak in your own voice. We want to know who you are as a leader — not just your credentials.
