Projects in Hibernation

Waiting to Sprout Again

Over the years, we’ve hosted community-led working groups rooted in each of our seven pillars. While some are currently in a season of rest, the soil is still rich with potential. These networks thrive when they’re nurtured by people who care: community members with energy, vision, and a commitment to collaboration. 

If you’re passionate about any of these topics and want to help co-chair or breathe new life into a group, let’s have a conversation. With your support, we can bring these vital networks back to life.
