L!FE’s mission is to equip Detroit’s youth with the skills, confidence, and connections to become active participants in shaping their personal, and city’s, future. We believe that “seeing where you are” is essential to understanding opportunity and building the audacity to achieve.

Our programs are grounded in the conviction that confidence, knowledge, relationships, and collaboration are the cornerstones of leadership—and that change happens when young people are empowered to lead it with a seat at the table.
