David C. Blount

At CSSP

Support efforts to design and advocate for anti-racist policy, develop community-based programs, and reform public systems in support of equitable outcomes for children of color and their families

I do this work because

I believe every child should grow up in livable, sustainable, and equitable communities in support of reaching their full potential.

Professionally, I am most proud of

Empowering communities in designing, implementing, and seeing the results of community-driven program and policy solutions.
