🌿 Living the LT Brand — Together at ShadeTree

This past weekend, Leadership Tomorrow alumni, families, and friends got their hands dirty at ShadeTree, the UCI plant nursery.

Together, we replanted, refreshed, and reconnected — continuing our shared commitment to grow strong roots in our community.

It wasn’t just about plants; it was about people. Alumni reconnected with classmates, introduced their families, and lived out what Leadership Tomorrow stands for:
💛 Staying connected beyond the program
💪 Turning leadership into local action
🌱 Investing time and energy where it matters most

ShadeTree’s mission is to cultivate a greener, more sustainable future through community involvement and environmental stewardship which aligns perfectly with the LT spirit and values.

When we work side by side, we don’t just plant trees, we grow community.
