THE CONSCIOUS CONNECT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

Mission: To reimagine and redevelop underutilized spaces for the purpose of education, culture, health, and peace-so that zip codes do not define the success of children, youth, and families.

Vision: To ignite a world-class cultural renaissance and neighborhood revitalization movement, establishing the world's most comprehensive children's equity zones.

Established in 2015 by Dr. Karlos L. Marshall and Moses B. Mbeseha, alumni of Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, The Conscious Connect has emerged as a leading international organization at the intersection of urban education and neighborhood revitalization. The organization has developed a 21st-century innovative literary ecosystem that sustains literary oases in neighborhoods across the Greater Miami Valley Region, spanning South Springfield and West Dayton. Through these efforts, The Conscious Connect strives to create equitable opportunities and vibrant communities, ensuring that every child and family has access to resources that promote success and well-being.
