LeadersUp Celebrates a Decade of Changing How America Works
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 5, 2024 / LeadersUp traces its roots to a pivotal meeting between current President and CEO, Jeffery Wallace, and former CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz. With seed funding from Starbucks, the organization embarked on its mission to create economic opportunities for BIPOC young adults. Today, LeadersUp celebrates a decade of collaboration with over 200 companies, impacting over 60,000 young people and catalyzing nearly $1 billion in economic return, while championing a more just economy.
Reflecting on the journey, Jeffery Wallace remarked, “The past decade has shown us the incredible power of purpose and partnership. When we come together with a shared commitment to equity and opportunity, we can truly change the landscape of how America works.”
On May 31, LeadersUp hosted Equity Unleashed at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, celebrating achievements and igniting excitement for the next decade. The event brought together leaders, employers, and community partners dedicated to nurturing an inclusive workforce. LeadersUp honored Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas and Miguel Santana, President and CEO of California Community Foundation.
Built on pillars of rigorous insight, informed experimentation, and radical imagination, LeadersUp aims to change how America works by prioritizing the voices of BIPOC young adults. As it looks ahead to its next decade, the organization remains steadfast in its mission to transform the economy.
