TAKE THE PLEDGE. HELP FIGHT POVERTY.
The Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI) has set out to fight poverty in a meaningful way. Pervasive, long-standing, deeply rooted poverty is the greatest crisis the Rochester area has ever faced. Without a new approach, it will continue to get worse. Employers and workforce preparation organizations are key partners in supporting our community and making it a better place for everyone to live and work.
