The Power to Create Change
No.9 is harnessing the power of innovation, imagination, and rejuvenation to build sustainable communities. Through our unique commitment to empowerment, education, and collaboration, we bring together the visionary voices needed to inspire a cultural shift towards creating sustainable communities and support those voices so that positive change can and will occur.
To survive and prosper as a society, we must build equitable, inclusive, and sustainable communities. We empower youth to lead the mission to build those communities by supporting education, awareness, engagement, and action on climate change, and put the nine pillars of sustainability into practice through our programs Imagining My Sustainable Community, Cloud 9, No.9 Gardens and Public Art for Change.
