Economic Mobility - Prosperity Broward
The Economic Mobility Pillar (Prosperity Broward) is a unique initiative of the Prosperity Partnership. The Prosperity Broward initiative is driving economic mobility through a community-focused lens. Prosperity Broward is engaging municipal leaders, funders, educational institutions, social service and faith-based organizations, business leaders, and residents to make a bold commitment to collaboration and coordination to create system changes to overcome decades of structural racism and lack of equal opportunities and resources in the economic-challenged communities.
