Step Forward is a Cleveland-based nonprofit that serves Cuyahoga County as the state-designated anti-poverty agency. It aims to help people find hope, believe in their future, and take concrete steps to make that future a reality, focusing on poverty alleviation on the ground in the community. Rooted in the non-profit sector, the organization implements on-the-ground efforts to address poverty in the region. In 2023, Step Forward expanded its leadership and programming, appointing Jackie Boehnlein as vice president of community services and launching the People as Teachers in Training program. The organization has partnered with other entities to assess community needs, including a 2022 collaboration with The Center for Community Solutions to survey low-income residents.
