Group Project InitiativesAt the heart of Group Project Initiatives lies a collective calling: to transform our society’s culture of apathy and overwhelm into a culture of care.
By creating ways that help invite and inform, educate and empower, and rest and recharge, we believe we will nurture a culture of care — for ourselves, our community and our shared futures.
We know that the pursuit of a more just and fair world will not be solved in a silo. We need third spaces, away from work and home, that foster opportunities for intergenerational, interdisciplinary and intersectional conversations, learnings, ideas and problem-solving.
We know that the world’s problems will not be solved by a single person but by a collective force. Ours is a group project, and we must work together on the assignment of our lifetimes.
At Group Project Initiatives we aim to create delicious invitations into third spaces that are grounded in community and foster an environment where engagement flourishes, empathy prevails, and every individual feels empowered to do their part of our collective assignment, in a pragmatic pursuit of our personal and collective liberations.
