Today is a first for our organization!

For the first time, we are celebrating mentees who entered LPFLA years ago and are now graduating high school.

Xavier and Jaqari have been part of our program for five formative years, allowing us to walk alongside them through growth, challenges, and milestones.

This moment affirms our mission and reminds us how important the support LPFLA provides especially when consistency, community, and belief are present over time.

This is the beginning of building a boy, who builds a family, which ultimately builds our community.

Congratulations young men, we are proud of you!🎉

We are incredibly proud of Jaqari as he prepares to graduate high school and step into a future filled with opportunity. With college acceptances in hand and a Google Cybersecurity Certificate currently in progress, Jaqari is already building a foundation for long-term success. Special thanks to for being part of this journey.

Jaqari exemplifies the pillars of LPFLA-academic achievement, mentorship, and self-mastery and proves what’s possible when diligence meets commitment and support. Surrounded by a strong, loving mother and a village that believes in him, the sky truly is the limit.

Congratulations, Jaqari, on a job done exceptionally well. Your future is bright, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!

Mentorship changes lives, on BOTH sides.

At our recent Mentor Huddle, we heard firsthand how consistent guidance and positive role models help young men thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

LPFLA is building leaders, and we are thankful for mentors who are ready to step in and make a difference.

During our Boys2 Men Dinner, mentors intentionally spoke words of affirmation over our graduating mentees, reminding them they are seen, valued, capable and surrounded by a village.

Hearing strong, consistent male voices speak wisdom, encouragement, and truth is life‑shaping for our young men.
