"The American Express Center for Community Development is proud to partner with the Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs to support the Multicultural Youth Leadership programs. We believe that the goal of these programs, which is to curb the pattern of intergenerational cycles of poverty and racial disparities for underserved students from diverse racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds, will have profound impacts on the communities in which these youth will become leaders and respected citizens."
