In the Networks for a Social Impact, we identify Voyage (https://www.voyagewilmington.org//) as one of the eight networks with a demonstrable impact on student achievement. It is located in Wilmington, NC. . In this episode, we feature an interview with Genna Wirth, its executive director. We discuss their community outreach advocate model and how community empowerment underlies all of the work that they do.
