Praise

“Paul Born, the head of the institute, emphasizes that the crucial thing these communitywide collective impact structures do is change attitudes. In the beginning it’s as if everybody is swimming in polluted water. People are sluggish, fearful, isolated, looking out only for themselves. But when people start working together across sectors around a common agenda, it’s like cleaning the water”.
—David Brooks, from his New York Times column ”Winning the War on Poverty,” 4 April 2019.
 
“Award-winning social entrepreneur Paul Born is one of the most creative anti-poverty leaders of his generation.  Unwilling to surrender to a problem many consider intractable, he brings singular commitment and expertise to the fight.  In Breakthrough Community Change, he shares those insights with organizations, equipping them to collaborate, change failing systems and achieve impact at scale.”
Melody C. Barnes, Chair, Aspen Forum for Community Solutions; Executive Director, Karsh Institute of Democracy, University of Virginia; and former director, White House Domestic Policy Council
