The Weaver Awards
The Weaver Awards recognize folks who are building social trust by bringing neighbors together to tackle a shared problem where they live.
Twenty-five communities run them with a local Community Host. Find yours by ZIP code.
For Weavers
If you dream of weaving your community into a trusting place where everyone thrives, you are a weaver – and you are not alone.

Funding, a stage, and a network
The Weave Speakers Bureau
Weave created the Speakers Bureau to highlight weavers who are healing divides in their communities from the ground up. Weave Speakers come from many walks of life and share their stories to inspire others to shift our culture and create belonging and connection across differences. There are currently 30 speakers in the Speakers Bureau and more are selected every year.
The Weaver Network
Weaver Network is offline while an all new version is under construction.
Until it returns, Weaving Us is where weavers find each other.
Weaving where you live
Weaving NWA
Weaving NWA started the Coffee & Conversations project to create low barrier spaces across NWA where folks can come together, have conversations, and bond over a coffee or tea.
Weaving Wilkes County
Life in Wilkes County can be wonderful, but it’s not always easy, and not everyone feels connected.
Rooted & Rising
A collaborative initiative of Weave and the Center for Rising Generations at the Aspen Institute to celebrate the voices of young rural journalists.
