Purpose

What We Believe

Long-standing and deeply-rooted racial inequities in our region have created stark disparities in educational, health and youth development resources and experiences.

Together, we eliminate these disparities, creating conditions for better life outcomes for children and youth.

Together, we design and build systems to drive positive change and build brighter futures for young people in our communities.

Our Vision

Why We Exist

An equitable
Greater Washington, where all young people thrive.
