2026 NPWW Social Media Toolkit
Within the 2026 NPWW Social Media Toolkit, you’ll find open-ended ideas to get you started, suggested posts you can use on social media, information on #NPWW Spirit Week, and much more. A little prep work goes a long way, so schedule some posts ahead of time and enjoy NPWW!
2026 #NPWW Spirit Week
Help boost awareness of NPWW by participating in our daily Spirit Day activities and then posting about them on social media.
Monday – (Rooted in Service, Powered by Community) Monday is a great day to share photos and videos of your team in action, and interacting with the community. Post one or more photos from last year’s NPWW, or post about events you have coming up this week. Another idea is to film your employees working together on a road repair or responding to a service request from someone in the local community. Remember to use hashtags #RootedInService and #PoweredByCommunity.
Tuesday – (I 
Public Works Because…) Tuesday’s the time to let your staff and their hard work shine! Use our downloadable sign to highlight why your employees love public works. Don’t be afraid to take a few members of your public works team out to the local grocery store or gas station and ask the public to fill out a sign! Try to capture messages from adults and kids!
Wednesday – (Whatcha Wearing?) Wednesday is all about what you wear when you do your job. Show off your waders, safety vest, or hard hat. And let’s not forget those in the office supporting the field! Show your office team in action, too.
Thursday – (Throwback Thursday) Thursday’s Spirit Day is a classic—Throwback Thursday! Public works departments have a long history, so scour your agency's archives and find something neat to share. Where was your city’s first stop light installed? How many miles of streets did your snowfighters plow 100 years ago? How does that compare to today? Remember to use #NPWW and #TBT for this day.
Friday – (Future Friday) Let’s celebrate the future by highlighting your agency’s impact on the next generation. You might consider visiting a local school, youth group, or community center and hosting a short demo or Q&A about what public works does. Invite kids or teens to draw, write, or share what they think the “future of their community” looks like. Capture photos or short video clips of the interaction (with appropriate permissions) and share your favorites on social media. Use hashtags like #NPWW, #FutureFriday, and #PoweredByCommunity.

These young children used their voices, and displayed strong civic leadership skills. These projects are a beautiful reflection of the guidance they receive from their parents at home, and their teachers at school.
We are grateful for every single note. They brightened the garage, and our moods, and turned the whole #npww(opens in new tab) week into a real celebration!

This year’s theme, “Rooted in Service, Powered by Community,” reflects the dedication Public Works professionals bring to serving the communities they love.
From maintaining roads and trails to supporting traffic operations, stormwater systems, fleet services, and more, Public Works plays an important role in the quality of life for our residents.

The Public Works Department provides professional, technical, and maintenance services that residents rely on daily, often behind the scenes. From maintaining City streets and facilities to servicing the City’s fleet vehicles, reviewing permits, overseeing construction projects, and inspecting capital improvements, their work touches every part of the community.
National Public Works Week highlighted the many ways public works professionals serve their communities — and here in Crestwood, that means:
🛠 Working every day to maintain the infrastructure residents rely on
Repairing and improving streets, parks, and City facilities
Maintaining the vehicles and equipment that keep City operations moving
Reviewing permits and inspecting projects to support safe development
Providing dependable service that helps keep our community safe, clean, and connected
Thank you to our Public Works Department for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to serving Crestwood every day.

There’s nothing quite like seeing a project for the community come together, and Robin Young, PE, loves being out in the field making it happen.
Every project Qunity takes on is "Rooted in Service, Powered by Community." Especially with highly visible work where you can see for yourself in the video above how our sidewalk transformations go—out with the old, cracked concrete and in with a smooth, safe walkway for our neighbors! Our team is proud to build the foundation that keeps our community thriving. #NPWW(opens in new tab)

Remember that our parks, streets, sidewalks, potholes, water lines, trees and other City facilities do not take care of themselves. They’re the ones that keep us going!
Thank you to our Public Works Department
