Celebrating 25 Years of FOCUS Greater Syracuse, Inc.

February 1, 2023

FOCUS Greater Syracuse, Inc. is proud to celebrate 25 Years of service to the CNY community!

  • We facilitate change with our citizen-centered research and recommendations to local governments.
  • We educate citizens through our monthly FOCUS forums on timely issues & our 10-week Citizens Academy program.
  • We celebrate civic minded individuals at Wisdom Keeper who share our mission of enhancing CNY & the quality of our lives.

FOCUS Greater Syracuse – which stands for “Forging Our Community’s United Strength” – started as a community-wide visioning project in 1998 through which citizens established 87 goals for the Greater Syracuse region’s next 25 years. Achieving these goals has been the center of FOCUS’ work ever since.

FOCUS asked the citizens of Greater Syracuse what their dreams were for the future of our community. They came up with real goals, and for the next 25 years, FOCUS worked to achieve those goals.
