Legacy Driven Foundation (LDF), founded in 2018, provides mentorship and academic support for 3rd-12th grade students in underserved communities, with a mission to empower youth through personal development and guidance. 

Mission Statement

Legacy Driven Foundation exists to equip 3rd–12th grade youth with the mindset, skills, and mentorship needed to succeed in school, lead with character, and build a life that positively impacts their families and communities.

Through structured mentoring, academic support, leadership development, and real-world exposure, we help young people discover their worth, sharpen their purpose, and prepare for life beyond the classroom.

Vision Statement

We envision a future where youth grow into adults who are confident in who they are, prepared for what lies ahead, and committed to leaving a legacy greater than themselves.

Legacy Driven Foundation sees students not just graduating, but thriving—entering college, careers, entrepreneurship, and community leadership with clarity, resilience, and responsibility. Our vision extends beyond school years, supporting young people as they transition into adulthood and become mentors, leaders, and change-makers for the next generation.

In-School & Weekend Mentoring Sessions

These sessions create consistent adult guidance for students who need it most, especially in Title I school communities. We mentor students bi-weekly during the school day and through additional weekend mentoring workshops, including, but not limited to:

• Structured mentoring sessions held during the school day that reinforces lessons learned during in-school mentoring
• Focus on character development, accountability, decision-making, and self-worth
• Provides consistent, trusted mentors for students in critical developmental years
• Supports academic focus and positive behavior
• Extended learning and enrichment outside of the school week
• Group discussions, real-life scenarios, and hands-on activities
• Safe spaces where students can grow socially, emotionally, and mentally

Additional Mentoring:

1. Mentorship Consultant –We welcome relationships and partnerships with schools and other organizations with a strong interest in building a Mentorship program. (time varies per school project)
