On Thursday, December 8, the Center for Civic Innovation held Atlanta’s second annual Civic Impact Awards. Nearly 200 friends of the Center celebrated the individuals and organizations working day in and day out to solve Atlanta’s most pressing social challenges.

AVLF is the proud recipient of this year’s Moving the Needle award for our Standing with Our Neighbors initiative. According to their blog, “The Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation won this award as an organization making significant headway against an issue facing Atlanta. AVLF was selected for their efforts in Thomasville Heights to keep students in school and families in safe, stable homes since schools cannot thrive with a student body forced to live in unstable housing with deplorable conditions.”

We’re so proud and honored!
