​LEGACII EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION

Legacii Educational Development Foundation (LEDF) was created to facilitate a young adult’s development and to create a learning center for underprivileged youth and young adults, who have been excluded, due to protracted poverty, from the traditional pathways to a successful career.  Our foundation teaches computer literacy, economic literacy, vocational skills and violence prevention.  It helps expand social education through recreational and community services for students and their parents. 

 

LEDF also helps our youth and young adults make responsible decisions, build self-confidence, control their destiny and create positive community change while offering physical, social and spiritual growth, leading to prevention of juvenile crime.

 

LEDF is here to help reduce anti-social behavior, drug and alcohol use, and any participation in violent activities.  Our foundation works with parents on child abuse and helps educate their children on teen pregnancy.  The young people who we propose to bring into the programs are young adults who are weak in computer skills, reading and other academic areas. The program is geared to build the youth's self-image and create a positive attitude toward society.  Our teacher and counselor roles are used to help the young people make responsible decisions, which will be appropriate and beneficial for them in the future.  The atmosphere will be kept as positive as possible, with no fear of retaliation from authority figures or the staff.

There is so much work to be done in OUR community. Community based programs are based on the unique strengths and talents of people. These communities include neighborhoods, religious congregations, cultural and ethic groups, groups with common interests, and people facing common barriers. Since you are apart of OUR community, this is where you come in. 

However, we do have members of our community that just want to be financial backers. If this is you, please see the Donate page.
