Every year at State of the Center, Center for Transforming Lives recognizes the corporations, volunteers and supporters who go above and beyond in their partnerships with us and truly walk our values.
The Empowerment Award honors a corporate partner whose collaboration, inclusion and impact advance the mission of Center for Transforming Lives.
Congratulations to this year’s winner, Bennett Partners, whose trauma-informed design of the Riverside Campus created a space for healing, growth and connection. Beyond their work on the campus, Melissa Mitchell and Michael Bennett continue to champion Transforming Lives’ mission throughout our community.
