The National Civic League is looking for communities with community-driven projects that demonstrate inclusive decision-making processes to enhance health and well-being for all.
With the National Civic League’s Co-Title Sponsors, Kaiser Permanente and Well Being Trust, the 2020 Awards reflect the concept that good health for the entire community requires a focus on mental, physical, spiritual, cultural and economic well-being.
Projects adhering to this year’s theme include (but are not limited to) a focus on:
- healthy & safe environments
- opportunities for lifelong learning
- meaningful and well-paying jobs
- affordable and humane housing
- reliable transportation and accessibility
- environmental health and safety
- a sense of belonging and inclusion
- access to mental health care
- substance-abuse recovery and prevention
- healthy eating and exercising
