“To empower high school students—especially those who are the first in their families to pursue higher education—to become capable, confident leaders through academic achievement, personal growth, and community engagement.”
LIT has been led by people of color since its inception who share the experiences of the community we are located. Our assets-based approach ensures we work with students and families collectively with the community and not to the community. We Impact Lives, Break the Cycle, Empower Shared Responsibility and Lift Communities together.
