Bowdoin Spirit of Service Award

Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick’s Working for Justice Steering Group

The Bowdoin Spirit of Service Award is presented annually to a Bowdoin community member or group who embrace a genuine commitment to improving the lives of others through service, their actions speaking strongly while they remain humbly quiet.

“The steering group has made Brunswick a healthier and more inclusive town,” said McKeen Center Associate Director Andrew Lardie. The group has also presented events and programs on topics of prison reform and restorative justice. They work in concert with the communities of Maine’s Indigenous Peoples and new Mainers—refugees and asylum seekers—to educate the broader community and to support them in their efforts for justice. “The Working for Justice Steering Group’s wide-reaching and continuing efforts reflect a genuine commitment to improving the lives of others,” Lardie said.
