Most look around today and see only gaps—
income, equality, race, gender, opportunity, and more.

At The Same House, we see bridges.

Rooted in the unifying words of

We’re one people.
We’re one family.
We all live in the same house.

Youth LEAD Georgia: Planting Seeds of Leadership Across the State

We often say that young people are the leaders of tomorrow. It is a comforting phrase. It gives us hope. But what I have seen through Youth LEAD Georgia reminds me that leadership is not a far-off promise. It is already happening, right here, right now. Youth LEAD Georgia was born from a partnership between Chick-fil-A Inc., The Same House, and the University of Georgia’s J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development. This collaboration was rooted in a simple belief: If we give young people the tools, trust, and time to lead, they will rise to the occasion. They do not need to wait for their turn. They just need to be given the chance to put their ideas into action.

3 Tips to Lead for Unity, Not Division

We live in a time when division is easy, and unity is rare. It is tempting to pick a side, draw a line, and fight the person on the other side of it. But the real fight is not with our neighbors.

The real fight is against the systems and challenges that hold all of us back: a broken education pipeline, economic barriers, communities struggling with disconnection. If we truly live in the same house, then we need to stop tearing each other down and start building something better, together.
