Advocate To Expand Opportunities
Lasting change only happens when we work together. That means coming together to speak up and speak out.
With our local network and position in the community, we have a 30,000-foot view of the resources and gaps in the Quad Cities’ social challenges. We study and step into these gaps, bringing together the best people and ideas to build initiatives that fill these needs and create opportunity where it didn’t exist before.
You can help! Use your voice to raise awareness and convince policy makers to create lasting change. We educate public officials on how education, income and health policies impact our community and advocate to expand opportunities for generations.
