Opportunity

Expand opportunities to education, quality jobs, and healthy environments for all urban residents.

Across our cities, our education, workforce, and criminal justice systems are broken. Decades of discriminatory policymaking and disinvestment have inadvertently and purposefully excluded communities, creating an uneven geography of access across the city. We help cities and civic leaders change this imbalance through expanding opportunities to education, quality jobs, and healthy environments for all urban residents. We launch programs that advance social and economic justice and inform policy. We work with advocates to use available levers to distribute benefits of growth more effectively. We work with foundations that want their investments to translate into improved lives at scale. We work with governments looking for new ways to address the barriers to inclusion that have perplexed them for too long.
