About

The foundation's mission is to inspire, empower, and connect people to change their world and to honor the legacy of president and MRS. Obama. A CORE purpose of the foundation is to build the obama presidential center (the "center"), housing the presidential museum (the "museum"), in jackson park on the south side of chicago. Construction of the center started in september 2021. The museum will tell the story of our nation's first african-american president and first LADY; their path to the white house; and the countless individuals, communities, and social currents that shaped their journey. The museum will focus on the historic obama presidency, its successes and challenges, and its legacy of inspiring individual people to come together to solve problems in their community. The center will use the obamas' personal story of community engagement and public service to inspire visitors to find their own paths to civic engagement and leadership. Building on the obamas' example of engaged citizenship, foundation programming focuses on giving the next generation of leaders the tools they need to create positive change in their communities. Through our scholars, global leaders, my brother's keeper alliance, girls opportunity alliance, and voyager scholarship, we invest in human potential to help emerging community leaders build the world they want to see.
