Political Leaders Program Class of 2003 graduate Karen Waters of Charlottesville was quoted recently in the Daily Progress. Waters is Executive Director of the Quality Community Council which is sponsoring a four-part community discussion on poverty in the City of Charlottesville.
"We hope to raise consciousness in the community about poverty," Waters told repoerter Melanie Mayhew. "We hope to start a dialogue about how poverty fits into some of the chronic problems that we work to address."
According to the article, this four-part series is "the first step towards opening Peoples College, a community-based institute targeting adult learners in low-income areas of Charlottesville."
