Become a Gold Star City
Your town can be a beacon of light for communities everywhere.
The NIOT Gold Star Cities initiative recognizes NIOT communities that are making an ongoing commitment to safety, respect, and diversity for all. These selected cities will receive focused support, including training, mentorship, and peer-to-peer exchanges. The program is now in pilot phase, working with a select group of cities to test and refine the criteria and measures of success.
