Hand Heart Soul Project

Our Learning Spaces will be closed on Friday, June 19 in observance of Juneteenth. We hope you take this time to rest and reflect. We look forward to seeing everyone at our next Learning Spaces session!

Over two days, HHSP had the opportunity to gather with nonprofit leaders from across metro Atlanta through the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta's Nonprofit Sector Sustainability Fund. When organizations receive tailored, organization-specific support, they are better positioned to find creative ways to navigate seasons. Grateful for the shared learning as we continue to build and serve well.

HHSP was inspired to be in the room for United Way of Greater Atlanta’s A Toast to Her event, celebrating women who are doing the work, leading in their communities, and creating opportunities for others. From entrepreneurs to nonprofit leaders, each woman highlighted their powerful stories of individual journeys and moving communities forward. Congratulations to the awardees.

We joined community members for the grand opening of the Center for Civic Innovation’s new Social Impact Hub + Democracy Lab in Atlanta’s historic Sweet Auburn District. The gathering brought together people committed to strengthening engagement and creating spaces where new ideas can take root.
