Our Work 🪧
Progress Norwood is a volunteer-led community organization. We welcome collaborators who have an interest in working toward our goals.
We have moved to a project or initiative-based team model. We have accomplished a lot, made many friends, and learned many lessons in our years of work. Many of us are busy juggling life's demands including the important community work we do together. Our aim is to have a sustainable framework that allows us to effectively accomplish our goals. 🥅
Going forward, working groups will meet based on the event or initiative at hand. We will continue to host regular events, such as our Nomination Paper Signing, the Progress Norwood Earth Day Fair, the Community Pride Picnic, and the annual Costume Hike with the Norwood Trails Committee. If there is an event or possible initiative you are interested in please reach out! 🙋🙋🏾♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏻♂️🙋🏿♂️
Additionally we have 3-4 social meet-ups a year which are a great opportunity to check us out, celebrate, or commiserate. 🍿🎉🍻
We run Norwood's Earth Day event, and promote Norwood in becoming a more sustainable town.
We support representatives and legislation that reflects the values of the progressive community in Norwood.
