ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIPLeading with purpose and strengthening systems.
At Made in Durham, we believe that a good job and economic mobility should not depend on luck.
It should come from a system that works. That is why we are building an education-to-career system that connects young people, educators, and employers across Durham. We are not just running programs. We are working to create real opportunities for young adults to move toward economic success. Through collaboration, shared responsibility, and a focus on results, we are creating the conditions for young people to thrive and for local businesses to grow with them.
This is only the beginning.
The video you just watched is part of “Made in Durham Explained,” a series that offers a closer look at how we do our work. It is about more than programs or initiatives. It is about designing solutions that last, adapting to meet the needs of young people, and managing the future with care, intention, and hard work. Every time we come together to make a difference, it opens the door to the next chapter for someone in Durham.
This is systems work. We can change how Durham supports young people from education to employment, but it takes leadership, care, and commitment.
Let’s connect.
If you are part of a company, foundation, or philanthropic organization and are interested in exploring potential collaborations to make a positive impact in our community, we would love to hear from you.
