INVESTING IN HOMEGROWN LEADERSHIP

We believe in the potential of all students to succeed and lead, and all communities to thrive.

Our programs prepare diverse, homegrown leaders to succeed in college and use their degrees to build more vibrant and equitable communities. From college classrooms to nonprofit board rooms, from research labs to law firms, from tech startups to neighborhood coalitions, our scholars are changing the face of leadership.

Leveraging rigorous evaluation and cutting-edge technology, we’ve developed programs and tools that are uniquely tailored to the communities they serve. In collaboration with carefully identified partners, these innovative programs identify and support the next generation of community leaders on the path to meaningful careers and life-long impact.
