Our annual Everyday Heroes project is part of a special installment of Inspire Atlanta — an initiative that we began back in 2019 to profile remarkable Georgians and to share their uplifting feats and their selfless acts.

While we recognize that a big part of our journalistic mission is to shine a spotlight on wrongdoings and to hold our public officials accountable, we also understand the importance of celebrating those who bring out the best in all of us.

For more inspiration beyond the Everyday Heroes, here are some of the recent stories from our Inspire Atlanta coverage. Tap or click here.

Of course, we can’t do this alone: We need your help in finding extraordinary people and identifying inspiring stories across our region. Know someone who inspires you or makes metro Atlanta a better place for others? Email us at AJC-InspireAtlanta@ajc.com.
