From Projects to Leadership | Rochester News

Leonard Brock, Rochester’s own, returns home to launch his new book, “NeighborHood Scholar,” a powerful testament to how overlooked communities nurture extraordinary leadership. Raised in the Hanover Housing Projects, Brock’s roots shaped his mission—now as Senior Vice President at CFLeads, he’s transforming policy and systems from the ground up. He revisits his childhood haunts, including the old rec center, to reconnect with the people who believed in him when he was just a kid. This book isn’t just memoir—it’s a blueprint for unlocking potential in every neighborhood, proving that the most profound change often starts right where you’re from.
