Community hero is anyone who shows kindness or performs a selfless act to uplift the people around them. These individuals may be the neighbor who takes the time to help a neighbor in need, the local shop owner who helps those less fortunate, or the teacher who works tirelessly in their classrooms. They may be the first responders who show up for Opening Ceremonies or the local volunteer who runs the concession stand at their Little League program each summer. Little League International recognizes a number of these individuals each year on its social media platforms (@LittleLeague) and encourages leagues to share these stories as well using the #LLCommunityHero hashtag.
These citizens may also dedicate their time and resources to causes outside of their local neighborhoods and communities. Whether it’s fighting to disrupt the cycle of homelessness through the Illumination Foundation, teaching children and adults to heal through the arts with Harambee Arts or helping women and girls in India uplift themselves through ChangeChitra, these community leaders are making a difference in the world.
Dewlyn is proud to support these heroes by offering a complimentary resource hub for our nonprofit clients. Designed to help continue their work after their personalized services and meetings with Cheryl Smith have concluded, this exclusive toolkit provides helpful templates and resources to build on their success.
