Since the founding of HCZ\, the organization has scaled its pioneering model to serve tens of thousands of scholars and families annually within its 103-block-and-growing “Zone”; closed the achievement gap in its schools; and helped more than 1\,700 scholars graduate from college and build bright futures. \nThrough this discussion\, you’ll learn about HCZ’s proven model\, and its audacious goal of putting one million young people on a pathway to social and economic mobility through its William Julius Wilson Institute. The event will also feature an engaging conversation between Mr. Owusu-Kesse and the Community Foundation’s President & CEO\, Mendi Blue Paca.
