Following a week-by-week curricula developed by the Executive Board, CDs create asset-based solutions to identified issues in their chosen city. CDs are expected to work within the programming frameworks we have established, but are also encouraged to be creative in how they execute our programming.  At the conclusion of CD project ideation, teams will present their ideas and the necessary steps to execute their plans.
