Founded in 1981, the Woodson Center’s mission is to empower community-based leaders to promote solutions that reduce crime and violence, restore families, revitalize underserved communities, and assist in the creation of economic enterprise. We provide grassroots leaders with training and technical assistance, link them to sources of support and evaluate their experiences for public policy. Current programs include the Community Affiliate Network (CAN), the Voices of Black Mothers United initiative, our free Black History and Excellence K-12 Curriculum, the Joseph Fund, and NLDI Online and Training and Technical Assistance for neighborhood leaders and community and faith-based organizations across the U.S. The Center has provided training to more than 2,600 leaders of community organizations in 39 states.
