NH Listens, a civic engagement initiative of the Carsey School of Public Policy, has received an American Civic Collaboration Award, a Civvy, for its efforts to strengthen communities. Since 2000, NH Listens has helped Granite State residents talk and work together to create communities that work for everyone.
鈥淢ore than ever before, America鈥檚 future depends on working together,鈥 said a representative of听听Big Tent Nation, organizer听of the event. 鈥淲e need to celebrate the people and initiatives that leverage collaboration and creativity to strengthen communities, heal partisan divides and invigorate American democracy. That鈥檚 why we created the American Civic Collaboration Awards 鈥 or Civvys.鈥
Selected by a panel of civic engagement experts from more than 50 nominations, this year鈥檚 finalists for the awards have achieved on-the-ground impact at the youth, regional and national level.
鈥淲e accepted this award with great joy on behalf of our partners across the state, where rich and timely conversations have been taking place to strengthen New Hampshire communities,鈥 said Michele Holt-Shannon, who co-directs NH Listens with Bruce Mallory. 鈥淲e want to thank the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and the Endowment for Health for their longtime support of our work.鈥
