CLICK HERE TO REGISTER!

Tune in for a rich discussion among three leading-edge practitioners about how their programs promote wealth building, job placement and training, job creation, and increase access to financing and supports for small businesses and social enterprises. These programs respond to the needs of low-income people and people of color, and are making tangible impacts in everyday lives, helping long-marginalized families keep pace with place-based investments in their neighborhoods, and advancing equitable development more broadly in long-marginalized American communities. 

Learn about the inspiring work in three different capacities? nonprofit coalition, community development corporation, and national/local intermediary? working in both urban and rural places, all leading their community development efforts with a commitment to hiring locally, developing and coaching a local workforce, creating jobs, and supporting the incubation and financing of small businesses and social enterprises, all of which are leveling the playing field by helping residents and their families work, play, live, learn, thrive and age in place.
