“Before this project I really didn’t think much of what I said to people because I’m the typed of person if I have something to say I’m going to say it. In other words, I don’t hold anything back. But now I realize that there’s a certain way to say what you feel and not be rude about it. I think of words like this, “Each word has an emotion attached that’s why we should always watch what we say.”
--Calvin Smith (A NU View youth participant, 2007)

“One Common Unity has been a great inspiration to the diversity of students at Wilson Senior High School in Washington, DC. Their teachings and commitment have created and molded our Peace Program and provided an opportunity for our students to realize their responsibility to one another and the planet. Keep up the great work OCU!”
--Dr. Stephen Tarason, Former Principal, Woodrow Wilson Senior High School

Common Folks Awards

Why The Common Folk Awards?

In today's world negativity dominates traditional media channels. Most outlets focus on the most recent terrorist attack or the child that was kidnapped. One Common Unity believes it is equally important to tell the stories of our heroes. The ones doing little things in great ways... everday... to make the world a better place. The stories of some of those inspiring people are found within these pages. Through the Common Folk Awards, we wish to connect you with their stories, their work, their vision, their hopes and dreams.

 

How does it happen?

At the end of every year One Common Unity accepts nominations for the Common Folk Awards. ANYONE can make a nomination. Please see our Nomination Criteria if you are interested in nominating someone. Our Board of Directors and Advisory Council researches those who were nominated and then ultimately decides on which individuals will receive the award for that year.
