GREEN BAY—During the UW-Green Bay spring council of trustees reception and dinner, Robin Nicole Scott, executive director of We All Rise: African American Resource Center was presented with the Community Service Award.
The Community Service Award is given to recognize community members who have made significant contributions and have done exceptional community work.
The award honors those who have demonstrated outstanding service that has positively impacted our region.
During her remarks, Scott shared how she has boldly impacted the Greater Green Bay Community.
“This is my life’s work and it started here. From UWGB classrooms to community crisis lines. From APA citations to after-hours safety plans. From my own lived trauma to a nationally recognized trauma response model,” Scott said. “Tonight, I am honored with this award.
But I didn’t come here for applause. I came to witness. To say out loud what so many of us know in our bones: That the real work of justice doesn’t happen on stages. It happens in silence. In sacrifice. In the slow, aching labor of care.”
A licensed professional counselor (LPC-IT) and substance abuse counselor (SAC-IT), Scott holds a masters degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lakeland University and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Applied Leadership at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay.
Scott is the author of the forthcoming book L”et Me Be Here for YOU While YOU Stand Up For Yourself,” which introduces the original concept of “African Americanism”—a framework that explores the intersections of race, culture, and spirituality as essential components of the Black American experience.
As an activist and community strategist, Robin inspires spaces of belonging, mentorship and transformation.
Under her leadership, We All Rise has grown into a nationally recognized model for culturally rooted, community-driven care.
She leads through mentorship, leadership development and strategic partnerships.
She continues to build and expand programs that advocate for Black families while confronting the realities of racism, poverty, incarceration and mental health trauma.
