Empowering what’s good for you, what’s good for others, and what’s good for the planet.

Meet the Allgood Collective–a global community of individuals that promote the power of collective action as a force for good.

A key part of our mission to make better things in a better way lies in supporting and amplifying the messages of those who are actively working to empower their communities. That’s why we’ve spent the past several months building a program to elevate the voices of local leaders, organizers, and activists with the goal of bringing tools and supportive resources to their projects, and sharing their stories as inspiration for our global Allbirds flock.

You’ll be hearing more from our Allgood Collective members, both here and on our other channels, on the topics they care deeply about and the important work they’re doing everyday. We’ll share information, activities, and tools for enabling change that touch on environmental justice and climate change, health and wellness, creative expression, and so much more.

We wholeheartedly believe that our partnership with this incredible group of changemakers will lead to unique and meaningful experiences for our respective communities. Each member of the Allgood Collective members is passionate, knowledgeable, and wholly inspiring–we can’t wait for you to get to know their stories and learn from their perspectives. The Collective will continue to grow and flourish in the weeks and months ahead, but check out our current roster below:
