Espiritu Community Development Corp. (4335)

In January of 1995 the group created ESPIRITU Community Development Corporation, a non-profit organization, with the expectation that future leaders could change communities using a non-authoritative leadership style. Within a year, a charter school was built to provide this unique educational experience, and a partnership with the National Football League was forged to launch the Youth Education Town (NFL-YET) on the same campus. Next, the group was invited to expand its model on an international level. New leaders from other parts of the world came to form part of the ESPIRITU team.
