Open Doors Academy serves scholars through out-of-school time programming that helps them reach their full potential. Each year, we spend a week with ODA scholars developing the organization’s annual report because the kids tell the story best. In 2022, we examined what makes a community a community. Throughout the week, there were passionate pleas to address homelessness, and lighthearted discussions about whether an ice cream parlor or a community park was more needed (or both!).
