Where courage gets to work.

The future of our country starts on your block. Meet the visionary leaders driving The Brickyard's mission across America.

Our Six Core Values

Service: We show up for our neighbors and communities to strengthen the places we call home. Service turns care for our communities into shared responsibility and action.

Integrity: We strive to do the right thing even when no one is watching. Trust is built through honesty, accountability, and consistency of character.

Compassion: We choose respect, especially across differences. We commit to treating one another with care, even when we disagree. Compassion means listening generously and remembering that neighbors are more than their opinions.

Humility: We lead with openness, recognizing that real leadership means listening, learning, and growing alongside others.

Courage: We choose to speak up, step in, and move the work forward through moments of uncertainty. Courage means choosing action over avoidance and progress over comfort.

Hope: We recognize hardship and division, but we lift our eyes beyond what divides us. Hope means choosing to imagine a better future together, built together, brick by brick.

Pillars

Social Gatherings

Welcoming, low-pressure ways for people to meet across differences — and actually enjoy it. Coffee clubs, potlucks, fitness events, and more. Community starts here.

Service

Side by side on real work that matters. Park cleanups, blood drives, supporting neighbors in need. This is how trust gets built — not talked about.

Civic Connection

The health of a community depends on people who show up — from town halls, civic education nights, to local leadership opportunities. We make it easier to do just that.

Our Volunteer Brickyard Leaders

Our Brickyard Chapters are led by vetted community leaders intent on upholding our community values and pillars.
