The Kirwan Institute, in partnership with OSU Extension, Franklin County, United Way of Central Ohio, Columbus Public Health, PACT and Columbus Early Learning Centers, has been awarded the OSU Cares Seed Grant to support an upcoming project focused on Columbus’ Near East Side. The project will expand on United Way’s place-based leadership academy, piloted on the South Side last year which aimed to provide space for residents to build skills for impacting neighborhood revitalization.
