Resources |
The following Think Tank Resources could be made available to the Purpose Built/ Phoenix Project in Dayton through the community revitalization efforts of the Dayton Phoenix Project. |
Americorps VISTA |
Think Tank partners with the Corporation for National and Community Services to provide opportunities for individuals across the state of Ohio, and through select national partners, to serve their community as an AmeriCorps VISTA. VISTA members help local nonprofit organizations address compelling community issues by committing a year of service to build the organization’s capacity to address poverty in their local community. Think Tank could reserve two or more full-time VISTA slots (as needed) to provide support to this project at a low cost ($7,900 for full-time VISTA). For more information visit: Think Tank, Inc.

Change Leader Alliance |
The Change Leader Alliance works to provide access to platforms for emerging leaders with lived experience in poverty, addiction or incarceration to use their stories to inspire, educate and advocate for change. The Change Leader Alliance offers leadership training for emerging leaders with lived experience that are working to facilitate change in their neighborhoods and communities. Resident leaders from the neighborhood surrounding Good Sam could participate in the Change Leader Academy, equipping them to be effective community leaders. |
