"Adobe Youth Voices aligns with our corporate philosophy, products and values. We're very proud to be taking this step to manage our philanthropic activities at Adobe," said Michelle Mann, executive director of corporate social responsibility and director of the Adobe Foundation. "The Foundation will help our current program be even more effective and expand our programs into more countries." Other issues to be addressed by the Foundation include homelessness, hunger, environment, and access to technology for people with disabilities.
