Creating lasting change requires collaboration. The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) partners with nonprofits, businesses, faith communities, schools, government agencies, legal advocates, and grassroots organizations that share our commitment to justice, equity, and opportunity.

Community partners

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The AADM Community Collaborator Program is a free opportunity for churches, nonprofits, community organizations, businesses, and other community-based groups to work alongside the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM).

We recognize that organizations often share similar goals but may not have the resources to formally sponsor or fund community initiatives. The Community Collaborator Program creates a simple way to connect, share resources, amplify community voices, and work together on issues that impact our community.
