Allies for Justice Award 2011 – Organizing Apprenticeship Project

For the past five years, the Organizing Apprenticeship Project has been bringing people together, to understand what changes need to happen to ensure better outcomes for everyone. —We honor them for bringing together everyone from parents/students, brown people/white people, rich people/poor people—all coming together to realize the dream of education equity in Minnesota. Just as we know that a system that fails one student fails us all, we know that when we improve the system for one community, everyone benefits.

Allies for Justice Award 2011 – CrossingBarriers

Crossing Barriers is a relatively young organization—working at the grassroots level, one school at a time. With students organizing their peers and parents to bring about changes in how students see themselves and how society values those students. Crossing Barriers shows that we are all potential agents of change. It is so powerful to see students organizing around education issues and bringing their parents in too. As a result of their work, Crossing Barriers is eradicating the practice of warehousing non-English speakers in special-ed or ELL classes until they age-out at 21.

Henry has been a Headwaters donor for 20 years. Without seeking credit or fame Henry has been and continues to be an incredible advocate for social justice. We are so grateful for his commitment to this work.
