The Obama Foundation is driven by the belief that ordinary people, through their collective efforts, can create significant change in their communities and beyond.
Launched with the vision of inspiring individuals to take action and empowering them to make positive transformations, the Foundation is grounded in the principles of community activism and collaboration.
The commitment to these ideals is evident in the ongoing development of the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago.
This facility not only honors the legacy of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama but also aims to serve as a vibrant hub for community engagement, education, and cultural enrichment.
The Foundation’s initiatives resonate globally, focusing on leadership development, advancing educational opportunities for girls, and creating pathways for young men of color.
As President Obama articulated, “We cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together.” This philosophy is at the heart of all of the Foundation’s endeavors.
