Urban Concern: Dedication, Leadership, Transformation.

Press Play button to begin video

It takes dedicated leadership to turn an economically depressed community around. In South Linden (Columbus, OH), that leadership is emerging through the tireless work of the people at Urban Concern.

Since 1991, Urban Concern has been building leadership among the youth and families of South Linden through strong education, family support and employment preparation. Our work has been so effective that it has been recognized with numerous national and local awards, including a White House Point of Light Award.

We call it ‘work,’ but Urban Concern’s commitment to the South Linden community runs much deeper than 9 to 5. No less than eight of our staff members and several volunteers have relocated their families to South Linden from outlying suburban neighborhoods.

More importantly, these families have remained here for more than a decade. We are neighbors and home owners. And we are fiercely dedicated to improving the quality of life for all the people who live in South Linden.
