“The [Change The World] program has helped Generations Community

Development Corporation build an infrastructure to track and monitor our clientele and staff electronically. Electronic files help create a green

environment that saves time, space, and money. Additionally, we are able to evaluate our effectiveness, project outcomes for the future and create

”It was a very interesting and highly gratifying experience. Not only I did I grow professionally, but I also developed personally through learning about the client’s business and meeting great people!

I believe the biggest client impact of this consulting project was not even the budget model and other documents that we delivered, but it was giving our client a business like way of thinking about the

organization to ensure its sustainable growth and performance.”
