By engaging with the leaders who are already committed to seeing the revival of our city, these workshops can best leverage available resources to help make this community a better place to live, work, and play. Previous cohorts have included a number of impactful community organizations, including Empowerment House, Children’s Futures, and dozens of other incredible advocates putting in the work each and every day.
Courses are offered by the Smith Family Foundation, a local non-profit devoted to the empowerment and prosperity of the City of Trenton. Through meaningful philanthropy, community education, and urban ministry, the Smith Family Foundation works tirelessly to meet the complex and diverse needs of the city’s population. After the Smith family received a significant financial blessing in 2016, Pearlie Smith and her seven children decided they would use this unexpected opportunity as a force for good. Since their foundation, the organization has helped provide improved quality of life for residents all throughout the community.
