Lead4Life, Inc. is in need of hygiene products for the youth and adults that we serve that are also members of the homeless population of Montgomery County. We believe it takes a village to make a difference...will you help us make a difference in some young people's lives!? 

A little about Lead4Life, Inc.:  

 Lead4Life, Inc. (L4L) was founded in 2008 in an effort to reduce the number of youth entering the juvenile justice system, the number of out-of-home placements, and the youth recidivism rate. L4L’s programs are developed utilizing restorative practices, strength-based and Positive Youth Development models. These programs help youth and families address negative behaviors that all too often result in involvement with our criminal justice system. 

L4L staff, mentors, and volunteers work together to empower individuals to develop positive life, social and competency skills, enabling them to become productive community members. Services such as alternative to detention programs, diversion, and grassroots mentoring are provided both in the community and in youth detention facilities.
