https://www.liferemodeled.com/ Chris Lambert is on a mission to turn blighted areas of Detroit around and "remodel" the lives of residents. This social entrepreneur discusses how and why he felt called to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in Detroit, even while other people were giving up on the that city. Chris' story proves that racial divides and mistrust can be overcome when there is common ground and passion. His "Life Remodeled" non-profit attracts thousands of volunteers from all over the country who share his vision for helping Detroit regain its history as a place of innovation and invention. The Detroit Metro News notes, "To date, the organization has removed blight and boarded up homes on more than 1,000 Detroit blocks, built a STEM lab and football field at Cody High School, put a new roof on Osborn High School, and outfitted a park near Denby High School with a performance pavilion and basketball and volleyball courts. Lambert's latest effort is focused in the area of what is now Central K-12 and the former Durfee Elementary-Middle school in the Boston-Edison neighborhood. The organization has leased Durfee, which was closed and merged with Central High School because both schools had too few students for the space they were in, from the Detroit Public Schools Community District for $1 per year. Lambert says Life Remodeled will put $5 million in repairs into the school, and build a Community Innovation Center focused on entrepreneurship, education, and community." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/seanrsparkman/message
