LEAD BY EXAMPLE 

​

L.E.A.D program is a nonprofit organization providing a mentoring program for high school youth in the Mercer County area. The L.E.A.D programs goal is to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills, and reassert a sense of hope in the future.

​

Through repeated failures in the classroom and the development of destructive habits, at-risk young people have lost faith in the possibilities that await them if they are successful in putting their lives together.

 

The goal of the program is to identify youths who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives.
