In addition, we support strengthening our communities' civic infrastructure through specific resident leadership training and engagement programs that encourage and empower Newarkers to become active change agents in their own neighborhoods. Together with residents and partners, LISC forges resilient and inclusive communities of opportunity across America--great places to live, work, visit, do business and raise families.
