Nehemiah, led by a staff of 23 and supported largely through community donations, services and grants, provides youth education and leadership, re-entry support and services for the formerly incarcerated, Black history education for non-Black allies, and cross-cultural leadership development. Across three decades, Nehemiah has evolved to meet the changing needs of Madison’s Black community. “What we've always done is that we've listened to the community, listened to the trends and we've listened to participants in our programs,” he said. “The growth of Nehemiah has come not because people fit into our programs, but because our programs grew to expand with pressing community needs.”
