History / Museum exhibit
English term or phrase: at the forefront of change
Context: this is from an essay to present an exhibit at a history museum. It refers to a non-profit organization that helps young people.

For many years, this association has had many innovative programs at the forefront of change. From its modest beginnings until today, they have served the community.

I can't seem to find a way to translate this, your help is much appreciated as always.

Explanation:
Or is this the translation you've already rejected?!

I have a feeling an alternative will come to mind at 3am this morning, but let's hope someone else gets in with it first!
