For Leaders Committed to Lasting Change
My Square Mile reveals a simple truth: when leaders stay committed, transformation becomes possible, and that transformation can ripple across generations.
Begin With the Story
Before considering how you might engage, begin with the story itself.
Watch the My Square Mile trailer to see how one life, one neighborhood, and years of faithful presence became a living example of community renewal.
Why This Work Matters
Commitment builds communities.
Across cities and nations, communities continue to struggle with instability, fractured leadership, and short-lived solutions. Good intentions alone are not enough.
The story of My Square Mile points toward a different way rooted in proximity, trust, perseverance, and faith lived out over time.
Studio 180 exists to help replicate and multiply the mission by supporting leaders and partners who are committed to long-term investment, not quick results.
A Framework Formed Over Time
For more than five decades, the work featured in My Square Mile has demonstrated what’s possible when leaders commit deeply to place.
Studio 180 supports the continuation and expansion of this framework through:
Leadership that Stays
Developing leaders who choose long-term presence and love their neighborhoods like family.
Dignified Opportunity
Supporting systems and work that provide stability, safety, and pathways toward lasting change.
Replicable Empowerment Centers
Helping establish and sustain local centers that train leaders, strengthen families, and strengthen neighborhoods across cities and nations.
“He has a legacy that both deserves to be shared for him, but more importantly, the things that he’s done deserve to stay in the world long after he’s gone.”

Beyond the film.
My Square Mile is not meant to be watched and set aside.
The story invites reflection, responsibility, and participation. It points toward a future where one leader’s faithfulness sparks a chain reaction that inspires peers, mentoring new leaders, and multiplying impact across communities.
Those who engage become part of a living story, sharing vision and influence across networks and generations.
