Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities

The Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities is a nonprofit based in Traverse City, Michigan, collaborating respectfully with citizens and leaders to protect the environment, strengthen the economy, and build community.

Groundwork empowers people who want to be part of creating a better Michigan with innovative, local-based solutions that create a clean environment, strong economy, and healthy community. Today changes are taking place that will define the future of our communities for decades to come. We can either accept what heads our way or be intentional by engaging with innovative, principled ideas, and inspired work. We can trust our hope and create optimistic solutions that shape a bright tomorrow for our people, communities, and environment. At Groundwork, we feel that we—all of us as a community—have no choice but to take action, from the ground up.
