Why Cleveland Thrives?

Cleveland Thrives was an event August 9, 2023 that brought 45 years of Leadership Cleveland alumni together to create meaningful change across five critical social issues:

  • Economic mobility
  • Food security
  • Gun violence
  • Healthy neighborhoods
  • Safe & affordable housing

The plan is to continue addressing these issues through alumni interest groups working in tandem with strategic community partners to make a sustainable impact in the five core focus areas.

LC alumni, submit your name if you’re interested in being a part of one or more working groups going forward.
