Our mission at For is to pay it forward — we feature incredible change-makers, with the aim of showcasing positive actions that inspire us all to effect change in our own communities. Our next issue, For: Belonging, will focus on individuals who help others find community, exploring how location and culture affect our sense of identity. What does it mean to belong? How do we find belonging?

Would you like to contribute? Articles can be reported profiles or narrative descriptions, first-person essays, or Q-and-A interviews with a specific individual who is doing something positive for other people around the topic of belonging. We will also accept photo and illustrated essays.
