Are You Ready for Real Change in Glynn County?
In June 2020, a group of friends got together to discuss the issues that had arisen in their hometown of Brunswick, Georgia. That conversation sparked several "what-if" questions that allowed them to dream about a better future for their city.
A Better Glynn was created to address those lingering questions. We exist to identify, educate, and equip individuals to be equity-driven decision-makers through civic engagement, policy advocacy, and leadership development.
Through our work, Glynn County will be a community in which ALL people have the opportunity to thrive and will serve as an example for engaging rural communities to advance equity.
Would you join us in that effort?
Help us create A Better Glynn.
Identify. Educate. Deploy.
Our Vision
Glynn County will be a community where ALL people thrive and serve as a template for effective rural community engagement.
3 Key Areas Of Focus For A Better Glynn
Civic and Community Engagement
We offer opportunities to develop an awareness of the political process and campaigns to encourage individuals to vote and participate locally so that citizen involvement and accountability of local leadership are increased.
Social Justice Policy and Advocacy
We offer education on social policies that affect individuals’ security, education, work, health, and wellbeing to build the ability to advocate so that policies are fair, just and create equitable outcomes for all.
Training and Leadership Development
We offer workshops and training that build the capacity of emerging leaders to advance equitable policies and systems and develop preparedness to lead in public and private spaces so that sustainable solutions to community challenges are created and implemented.
"When ALL people thrive, EVERYONE wins."
A Better Glynn is set up for a specific work.
We believe these three focus areas will lead to A Better Glynn.
In our work, we have encountered layers of bureaucratic red tape at the local level in pursuing equitable solutions. But our community has joined us on this journey to peel back those layers and create lasting change.
We need "co-conspirators" to join us and be in it with us long-term.Every member of our team is closely connected to Glynn County. And that close connection fuels our passion to see our community live up to its potential. We know for a fact that when all our people thrive, then everyone wins.
