"Have you ever been to a place where everyone around you is friendly and thoughtful?...Well I have been to such a place...This has been the best experience I have ever had." Matt Logan
During the past school year, Leadership Greater Hartford trained and supported 250 parents, teachers, principals, and others in the art of working together to improve education for Hartford’s students.
Leadership Greater Hartford has been awarded the 2009 Tapestry Award from The Hartford Courant in recognition of our work connecting diverse constituencies and building bridges of understanding in the region.
Have you driven Capitol Ave between Forrest and Laurel recently? Many Hartford commuters and students travel this corridor daily. Until recently, it has been a disheartening mess. Thanks to the efforts of over 100 volunteers, including a group of enthusiastic volunteers from Ikon who came together on September 26, this stretch of Capitol Ave is becoming a Corridor of Hope.
