Mark your calendars! This September, Atlanta Way Day — powered by Atlanta Way 2.0 — will bring together the region’s most passionate problem-solvers to highlight social challenges and provide real solutions that strengthen Metro Atlanta’s civic fabric.
Atlanta Way Day isn’t just about identifying problems — it’s about taking action to fix them. This event is a platform for individuals and organizations to showcase initiatives that drive real change and invite the community to get involved. Whether you’re tackling education gaps, environmental concerns, economic mobility, or social justice, we want to amplify your work and connect you with others ready to make an impact.
“We are excited to spotlight some of the impactful work people are doing through collaboration to strengthen our region,” said Lauri Strauss, Atlanta Way 2.0 board member and organizer of Atlanta Way Day. “Not only will we highlight these heroes, but we hope to educate the community on their work and encourage others to get involved.”
