Take A Tour
___

In 1993, Urban Ventures planted roots into a stretch of Lake Street known as “Crack Alley.” Nowhere in the city was there a heavier concentration of drug addiction, gang activity, and prostitution. Nowhere else were more kids dropping out of high school and more single moms left to lead families without fathers.

There was a lot to do and we knew it wouldn’t be easy. We got together with our neighbors and got to work.

Three decades later, we‘re witnesses to the transformative power of community. Today, “Crack Alley” is gone. The Colin Powell Leadership Center anchors a 10-building campus that provides thousands offamilies with the tools they need to take control of their futures.

It is a remarkable transformation and we believe you have to see it to believe it.

A tour of Urban Ventures’ neighborhood is an interactive way to better understand the history of our neighborhood, the cycle of poverty, and the hard work that goes into transforming a community.
