Learn to Earn Dayton has launched a new Community Outcomes Data Dashboard to track progress in financial stability, thriving neighborhoods, educational success, and family health. The tool gives residents, nonprofits, and policymakers an easy way to see what’s working—and where more focus is needed—to help students and families thrive.

The Development Operations Initiative Team (D.O.I.T.) marked its 30th anniversary with a celebration honoring its founder and CEO, Michael Manuel. For three decades, D.O.I.T. has trained and mentored young people through construction, life skills, and community development programs.

Learn to Earn Dayton, in collaboration with an advisory council of expert community partners, has announced the inaugural class of the Civic Leadership Program, a transformative training academy designed to empower residents with the knowledge and leadership skills necessary to advocate for students and families.

Every August, Dayton Weekly News joins communities across the country in observing Black Business Month - a time to elevate Black entrepreneurship and drive conversations around equity, ownership, and generational wealth. For us, it’s more than a tribute. It’s a commitment.

The current state of American politics feels broken. At a time when millions are at risk of losing healthcare, when vital local programs, from afterschool enrichment to housing assistance are being cut, and when political debate has morphed into a culture war where logic is optional and division is expected, it’s easy to understand why so many people feel powerless. But we cannot afford apathy, not now.
