Foster for Social Change
The Dominican Center facilitates a resident-led neighborhood revitalization effort by fostering social change—a change in individual and neighborhood-wide mindsets and behaviors. Our key strategy to advancing social change is educating residents in the areas of literacy, advocacy, leadership, skill development and service to others.
