Imagine a world where entire communities stepped up to help raise future leaders? Where neighbors wrapped around each other to provide support for one another’s kids?

This is the vision of Crittenton Services of Greater Washington and Siobhan Davenport. The goal is to be out of business because the community – from neighbors, to businesses, to schools, and churches – are surrounding the youth to help raise them up into adulthood for a thriving future. It’s a big, bold, and brave vision.

Siobhan Davenport is the President and CEO of Crittenton Services of Greater Washington, a nonprofit and expert in social-emotional learning, and mental health programs. Their work was previously featured in The New York Times & are grantees in Goldman Sachs 1 Million Black Women initiative. Siobhan is a phenomenal industry leader with more than fifteen years of experience serving underserved youth. Today Siobhan shares valuable insights on serving the youth in our communities, particularly minority youth.
