The concept of Community Matters grew from the energy and effort of the leadership of Education Matters; along with the expressed desire of the community. While education plays a key role in an individual’s ability to take control of the future; access to other types of opportunities are necessary in creating thriving and just neighborhoods. Education Matters and Community Matters share a vision of transforming the city from within by valuing the whole person, believing in the potential of each individual and creating opportunities for that potential to take form.

Community Matters is charged with listening to the voices of the Lower Price Hill community and seeking out new opportunities with their neighbors. They are rooted in the long history in Lower Price Hill.
