President Obama returns to his roots to support young leaders
At the Obama Foundation, we’re committed to helping the next generation change their world for the better. That’s why this week President Obama is back in Chicago, spending time with an inspiring group of Obama Scholars working to address the biggest challenges of our time. He’ll also meet with local high school students that the Foundation is empowering to explore new career possibilities and talk about the role we all can play in making a difference in our communities.
