About Us
Who We Are
Lift Greater Dayton is an emerging broad-based organization committed to working for a better and more just Dayton. Our leaders and members come from diverse racial, ethnic, religious, cultural and political backgrounds. What we share in common is the desire to achieve positive changes in our community.
Lift Greater Dayton exists to build and support an organization to address Greater Dayton’s critical social issues in an effective, non-partisan way. We spent 2009 listening to over 1,000 people discuss their concerns including health care, education, jobs and economic development, crime, mental health, youth activities, and housing. On May 13, 2010 we gathered and adopted our initial action agenda: jobs, education, and youth. Research on these issues is now underway. We are also conducting Leadership Institutes to teach volunteers the basics of organizing.
