Our programs have touched 17,000 urban and rural leaders who are achieving community-driven social change. These innovative leaders have improved millions of lives by transforming neighborhoods, lifting families and children out of poverty, enabling workers to secure living-wage jobs, developing high-quality affordable housing and improving the environment. They have dramatically increased the number of inner-city high school graduates and decreased rates of teen pregnancy. Their deeply held values guide their decisions and their actions.
