About This Event

Join us on Wednesday, October 28 to uplift the outstanding work being done by Des Moines residents and neighborhood leaders to honor their civic involvement and commitment to the Des Moines community!

The Neighborhood Champion Awards are intended to be community-based, given in various categories such as: the Innovative Leader Award, the Impact-Maker Award, and the Community-Builder Award. These awards highlight the efforts of those that have made significant impacts in their neighborhoods and may not have previously sought or received the honor they deserve. To learn more about the Neighborhood Champion Awards, visit DSM.city/ImpactEvents.

This year's awards have been designed and created by youth at Artforce Iowa. Learn more about their work at https://artforceiowa.org/.

For questions, including accommodations requests, please contact CommunityRelations@dmgov.org or call (515)283-4284 ahead of the event.
