Good Neighbor Awards

Do you have a neighbor who shows everyday acts of care? Someone who lends a hand, looks out for their neighbors, or works together to build a more connected and compassionate city? Help us recognize San Francisco residents who build connection, kindness, and community in our city!

Beyond the Classroom Awards

Do you know a teacher who sees beyond their school’s walls? Who takes their students on field trips around the local neighborhood? Help us recognize San Francisco educators who build connections between schools and neighborhoods.

Small Business Neighborhood Champions

Is there a barista or bartender who makes you feel like a local? Knows your name and knows your order? Creates community connections between their small business and the neighborhood? This award recognizes a team member— an owner or an employee— at a local business, who engages with the neighborhood.

Goodest Pet Competition

Is there a dog, cat, or other fuzzy friend who makes your neighbors smile?
