Our Community

At The W.G. Pearson Center, we collaborate with organizations, businesses, individuals, and youth to actualize this vision. Partnering with tenants, we unite to dismantle systemic racism and structural inequities, striving for a Durham that ensures the success of every child. As individual tenants pursue their goals, together, we form a consortium of kindred entities, sharing insights and advocating for policies and investments that empower thriving communities. This space emanates hope and positivity. Contribute your energy and light to amplify our impact. Become a beacon of change.
