About Our President & Founder

COREY WILLIAMS

Corey Williams is the President and Founder of the Savannah Leadership Foundation, a nonprofit organization committed to equipping leaders and empowering underserved communities for lasting transformation in Savannah.

A visionary leader, community advocate, and pastor, Corey has spent over a decade investing in the spiritual, social, and economic renewal of the city. Under his leadership, initiatives have focused on mentorship for young people, support for local nonprofits, reentry assistance for formerly incarcerated individuals, and strategic partnerships that strengthen neighborhoods across Savannah.

Corey is passionate about building bridges between faith leaders, business leaders, educators, and community organizations. He believes sustainable change happens when leaders collaborate, take ownership, and serve with integrity.

Born into challenging circumstances and overcoming significant personal adversity, Corey’s life message centers around transformation, turning obstacles into opportunities and helping others unlock their potential. That same conviction fuels the mission of the Savannah Leadership Foundation.

Through mentorship development, capacity-building solutions, and community engagement initiatives, Corey continues to champion a simple but powerful belief:

When leaders grow, communities flourish.
