HOW YOUR COMPANY CAN SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORS
Finding and retaining talent is especially competitive in today’s workplace. Studies show that when your company partners with a nonprofit it can boost employee morale, create a positive workplace culture, strengthen bonds between employees, and develop leadership skills among employees. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) continues to grow as a way for companies to set themselves apart of the competition and is quickly becoming an expectation by consumers. Companies that incorporate CSR can experience benefits like better brand recognition, positive business reputation, increased sales, and customer loyalty.
Sincerely, Liz Latsa

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
