01 / Recognize someone

Who is a Teamwork Champion in your life?

You might recognize a caregiver, mentor, worker, neighbor, educator, family member, friend, fraternity brother, organizer, or someone whose contributions do not fit a formal role.

Begin by identifying the person, the period or experience you want to acknowledge, the teamwork they carried, and the collaborators who may deserve shared credit.

Your choices

You decide whether the account remains private or is shared in a chosen way.

02 / Recognize your own teamwork

Your own teamwork counts, too.

Self-recognition is a valid form of participation. You can recognize the coordination, care, communication, preparation, and administration you already carry, with room for uncertainty and shared credit.
