Overview
Mission
To build legacies 1 baton at a time...by ensuring our youth are prepared to compete in life's race and are subsequently able to experience the winner's circle. L.I.T. Mentorship Program, Inc., will help minority male youth define their personal best and strive to become their own competition, giving their all to be winners.
What it reported doing in 2025
L.I.T. has continued to serve adolescent males and now females. L.I.T. works to establish the lifting of the current standards within their communities by providing instructional training that provides them with strategies and tools to address their mental and emotional health while also developing life and independent living skills. In 2025, I served 40 schools across 4 school districts, to include private and public schools, which indicates approximately over 894 adolescents and 580 educators, teaching partners, behavioral coaches, and mental health providers within the school district with program development and strategic planning alignment, and newly created training tools that I have developed; this includes educators supporting students with disabilities and those without. I push into the formal instructional time of educators, provide 1 -on-1 and group coaching and consultation. I also facilitate student and educator social-emotional wellness training, developed and facilitated community bullying prevention workshops consultations, Created and delivered 350 bullying prevention coping kits, and professional development both in the school district and in the community. In this way my profession is interwoven with non-profit work of L.I.T.s instruction. The number presented is over and above those students and staff on my assigned/paid workload. The Doctorate degree earned by the CEO and founder of L.I.T. Mentorship Program, Inc., continues to add value to L.I.T. as it ensures all programming is guided by data produced via action research and therefore instructs the path of the program.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
