The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart." — Franklin Roosevelt    Center on Community Development > Roosevelt Home > Cornell > Community Development Your name: Your email: Recipient's name: Recipient's email: Message: To prevent spam, please enter the first letter of the recipient's email and the first letter of the recipient's name in the box below (for example, if the name is "John Doe" and the email is "bigjohn@johndoe.com", you would enter "jb"): The mission of the Center on Community Development is to ensure that strong communities are built and sustained. Communities are the building blocks of a civil society and for many, they often take the place of a strong and supportive family. No one should be left out and denied basic resources such as affordable housing, a good education, and effective healthcare. Currently, the members of our group are most interested in providing strong after-school programs, ensuring that children are experiencing a rich, multicultural education, and developing a more effective training system to those who wish to work with underserved communities. One of our members is also developing a national education initiative, "Every Child Right on Track". We also understand the value and importance of hands-on experiences, and many of our members have done social justice work in Ithaca, NYC, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Ecuador that will complement our research and writing.
