Police Department Strengthens Community Bonds- Wichita, KS

During a series of “No Ferguson Here” meetings, citizens expressed anger and disappointment in the way their police force interacted with the community, accusing officers of racial profiling and excessive use of force. As a result of these meeting, key priorities were established, and the police department began restoring relationships with the community members they serve.

League 42- Wichita, KS

A handful of community leaders convened to discuss returning a run-down park to its glory days. The plan focused on reintroducing inner-city youth to baseball. Community leaders organized as a non-profit, established a board of directors, recruited volunteers, and formed League 42, named after baseball legend Jackie Robinson, who wore the number 42.
