Peter Weber | Fresno Bridge Academy

Peter Weber is taking aim at a challenge that afflicts communities in Fresno and throughout California: concentrated poverty. The Fresno Bridge Academy, which he founded, is directing public assistance dollars to move individuals past poverty toward meaningful employment — with four out of five participants who graduate from the Academy obtaining a job or increasing their wages.
