tnpacademy
At tnp academy, we celebrate neighborhoods everywhere by supporting local talent, telling their stories, and sharing the meaning and wonder of human connection.
In response to the social isolation crisis gripping the united states, we bring the focus back to everyday Americans who, through their community work, are rebuilding the nation from the ground up.
We are dedicated neighborhood researchers, first identifying the inherent values present in thriving communities and then creating hubs (both online and off) where those values can be practiced, discussed and amplified for the benefit of all of us - fostering a mutual sense of purpose.
TNP Academy was founded in 2018 as the nonprofit arm of The Nantucket Project (TNP). TNP brings live events, short documentary films and meaningful storytelling to audiences hungry to know what matters most in our noisy and messy world. We continue to work hand in hand with TNP, collaborating and utilizing each organization’s strengths and resources to make the world a better place.
The neighborhood project grew out of The Nantucket Project and is dedicated to creating healthier communities by encouraging more meaningful conversations. Neighborhood Projects gather in small groups, typically in living rooms, to watch our award-winning videos and have the kind of conversations you don’t have every day. These projects continue to grow, uniting communities around the country in the service of something greater.
