Social skills.

Making an impact is not just a one off experience. LEAD continuously seeks to support and provide positive experiences for youth and their consistency shows in the growth achieved by the youth they serve. This cannot be done without the support from others at various levels.

You have the opportunity to help these students everlasting success for themselves and their families. Being involved with LEAD, you will find a sense of purpose, community, and compassion yourself.

My son has gained greater confidence.

I am an excellent Leader as i’ve been put in many leadership positions & i work well with a team.

He has gained a lot from the program, not just in terms of personal growth but also experiences. Without LEAD he would be able to go to summer camps, and have those growth experiences he's been able to accomplish.

He has definitely been exposed to different experiences, College campuses and seminars. He was also exposed to differing career paths.

LEAD is essential for some kids in the Houston community. They truly do grow from the exposure they experience and continue to create lasting memories for the children they touch.

The experiences that camp and the trips offer.

Supporting LEAD’s mission and programs is an investment in the future of our communities. LEAD provides young people with the life skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to dream big and achieve their goals, breaking down barriers that may otherwise hold them back. By empowering youth to become leaders in their own lives, we’re not just impacting individual students—we’re cultivating a generation of confident, capable, and compassionate future leaders. I’ve seen firsthand how LEAD transforms lives by giving students the tools to overcome challenges and realize their potential. Supporting this mission means helping young people discover their voice, develop resilience, and create brighter futures for themselves and their communities. Every contribution, whether through time, resources, or advocacy, plays a vital role in creating opportunities that can change lives for years to come.

They have experienced community among peers and mentors who know how to handle students and their needs. They have been afforded travels and access to business opportunities and colleges that they might not have been able to afford

My son has definitely gained valuable leadership and communication skills during his time as a LEADer.

She has gained the opportunity to see places, such as Wyoming, that she may have never had the opportunity or idea to go see. And those experiences will be memories she has for the rest of her life.

Someone poured Love and Wisdom into you, whether it’s a family member or stranger..Pay it Forward.
