Avenew was born from two intersecting justice-driven initiatives that recognized the impact of moving forward as one. Together, we're on a mission to empower grassroots organizations with impactful solutions for frontline communities.
Avenew Values
Our Guiding Principles
Our values will help guide decision-making to overcome the barriers of a siloed sports industry and confusing stakeholder network. These principles draw inspiration from the communities leading the environmental and climate justice movements, the values they've articulated – like the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing – and those whose work is guided by them.
Inspire Collectively
We are committed to including all voices and prioritizing those from the frontlines.
value connection
Our collaboration tool is human connection.
combat inaction
Our courage is motivated by accountability for inaction.
catalyze confidence
Our solutions confirm hope and inspire confidence of a just transition.
Continually evolve
Our work is never complete, so we must continue to inspire.
