Coleman Yoakum, Micah 6 Community
Coleman Yoakum is a social entrepreneur and Executive Director of Micah 6 Community, a 501©3 non-profit organization serving Pontiac. After college in Arkansas, he and five friends moved to Pontiac with the goal of helping to stabilize and revitalize a hard-hit neighborhood. Their organization manages community gardens, summer youth programs, and they are renovating Webster Elementary School, a historic building that has been empty for 10 years. Once completed, the building will become a community center that will be home to over a dozen non-profit groups that serve the Pontiac community. Join us to hear this inspiring and hopeful story!
