Mission

Provide culturally-responsive support to

reduce barriers and foster pathways towards generational success for underrepresented communities.

Vision

Communities where all individuals achieve socioeconomic stability and mental wellness while meaningfully contributing to the collective success and sustainable progress of themselves and their environments.

History

Legacies Empowered is a 501c3 nonprofit established in 2020 after the pandemic left already vulnerable, underrepresented communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania with an even greater set of needs. Taking a collaborative approach, we harness existing resources like neighborhood-level leaders and organizations including nonprofits, faith communities and small businesses, to make a stronger, lasting impact.
