2009 Community Hero Award

Who are Community Heroes?
Community heroes are people from all over the Bay Area and from all walks of life.  They come from all races, ethnic backgrounds and age groups, working in common to protect, restore, and raise awareness for the environmental issues that are relevant to their communities.  Many are engaged in grass-roots activism, others work on legislation, and several are educators.  Many call themselves volunteers, while others have built careers working in the environmental movement. 
 
This past May, four groups and indiduals were presented the 2009 Crissy Field Center Community Hero Award.  Whatever their approach, methodology, or position, they all fit one very important criterion: their work has made a positive impact on the community and has inspired others to get involved and make a difference.

Please stop by the Crissy Field Center to view the video exhibit showcasing winners and their efforts. View their stories below:
