Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The LBA Foundation (Leaders Believers Achievers) exists to assist youth find their purpose and connect with their community so they can build their best life and become model and productive members of our community and nation. We believe every youth can achieve greateness when they connect to their purpose, connect to mentors and community, and connect to a dream they feel is achieveable with the people and resources we bring to support them. We provide mentorship, career exploration, skills building, academic assistance, and evangelize all career pathways equally---college, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, or career readiness with equal vigor.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
The LBA Foundation supported over 600 youths across eastern Iowa, primarily in Cedar Rapids and Linn County. Our efforts are centered on helping youths get connected to something that they feel passionate about and then finding resources to help them pursue that goal and dream. We took over 60 youths on business site visits to learn about different jobs and industries, held 4 events in area parks to encourage exploration of green spaces, conducted after school gatherings at local gyms and rec centers where we had over 422 attendees during 2025. During the past year we also assisted 27 at risk youth to achieve their diplomas and helped place 16 students into summer jobs and internships. A big push for our organization was holding seminars where we introduced various careers to our youths so they could realize how many options there truly are to pursue--and these seminars had over 126 attendees. Additionally, we continued our efforts to help remove stigmas around talking about mental health and continued our youth mental wellness circles that had 42 youths participate in for multiple meetings throughout the year.$0$26,450
