Mission: The Woodson Center (WC) was founded by Robert L. Woodson, Sr., in 1981 to help residents of low-income neighborhoods address the problems of their communities. Originally known as the National Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, the organization re-branded in 2016 to Woodson Center. WC is headquartered in Washington, DC, but operates throughout the nation to assist community and faith-based organizations with training, technical assistance, and linkages to sources of support. WC documents and interprets their experiences to make recommendations for public policy and works to remove barriers that hamper their efforts to solve societal problems. (Less)
