Overview:

Tune in for a rich discussion among three leading-edge practitioners about how their programs aimed at wealth building, job placement, job training and creation, and support for small businesses and social enterprises 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 of practitioners in three different capacities— nonprofit coalition, community development corporation, and national/local intermediary. Our guest presenters work in both urban and rural places, all leading their community development efforts with a commitment to building wealth, hiring locally, developing a local workforce, creating jobs, and supporting the incubation and financing of small businesses and social enterprises. Discover how these efforts are leveling the playing field by helping residents and their families work, play, live, learn, thrive, and age in place.
