The Center for Leadership Development was founded in 1977 to help more Black students become leaders in business and in the community. Back then, it was just one program for 10th through 12th graders.

Now the nonprofit begins working with Indianapolis youth beginning as early as 4th grade, providing free or affordable help with tutoring, high school and college preparation, leadership training and more.

“We’re just trying to create one of the most preeminent youth development program models in the nation that’s dedicated to helping achieve fruitful, successful outcomes in African American youth,” said Dennis Bland, the nonprofit’s president.
