program impact At a Glance

We exist to abolish economic, relational, and spiritual poverty through career and community development When we started working with our neighbors in northeast Denver in 2008, we knew that the problem of poverty could not be solved with fragmented or relief-based approaches Instead, we focused on creating a model that would eliminate poverty itself, rather than simply lessening its effects By participating in our tuition-free career and community development program, our students (called Leaders) can graduate from poverty and participate in meaningful work

Current & Prospective Locations

For every $1 invested in our Leaders, we see a $6.45 return, based on earned income, decreases in government benefits, and taxes paid

THE PROBLEM in Denver live in economic poverty

We want to change that less than 2% of those in poverty are homeless. We serve the other 98%.
