Cultivating Futures Honored with YNPN-GR Rising Star Award
We are thrilled to share that Cultivating Futures has been recognized as the 2025 Rising Star Award Winner by the Young Nonprofit Professionals Network of Grand Rapids (YNPN-GR)!
This honor celebrates our ongoing work to create equitable, creative, and community-rooted programs that support youth, families, and maternal wellness across West Michigan.
We are proud to stand alongside this year’s inspiring finalists, Upcycle Bikes (website: https://www.upcyclebikes.org/) and Pleasant Peninsula (website: https://www.pleasantpeninsula.org/), who are also making a remarkable impact in our community.
This award is a testament to the dedication of our team, advisory board, partners, and supporters who continue to believe in our mission to cultivate future leaders and build spaces where art, wellness, and equity thrive.
Special thanks to our community partners including Brookwood Elementary, Sarah Miller (Dance Therapist), and all who pour into Cultivating Futures daily.
Together, we’re just getting started
