Power of Place
Resident Vision for Northwest Dayton
The Northwest Dayton Partnership, fondly named NWDP, was established in 2021 to center resident voices and support the community as it works to achieve collective goals.
In 2021, Learn to Earn Dayton was tapped by national partners to invest in the community in a meaningful way. L2ED worked to center power in the heart of the community while amplifying resident voice was the Northwest Dayton Partnership, a two-year initiative that resulted in the Power of Place plan, and continues to positively impact the Hope Zone neighborhoods as priority projects, such as Access to Counsel, Civic Leadership Program, and Pathways to Homeownership, are launched.
