Creating economic opportunities through job training, small business support, and community development projects.
Our network of 12 community learning centers provides after-school programs, adult education classes, and family support services to underserved neighborhoods.
This comprehensive program addresses health disparities through preventive care, health education, and access to mental health services in 8 target communities.
For over three decades, we've been making a difference in communities across the nation.
Our strategic approach ensures that our resources create meaningful, measurable change across our three focus areas.
