Our Mission

To facilitate personal and community health and wellness through educational, self-improvement and positive youth development programs.

Goals

Our primary goal is to empower the individual through education, information and community programs that teach skills to the unemployed and give hope to the disenfranchised.

LEC programs challenge and empower at-risk youth and families to leverage education as a tool for overcoming life obstacles and for acquiring skills needed to become productive members of society.

Tools & Strategies

To achieve its goal of promoting personal and community wellness through education, economic opportunity, healthcare and self-improvement programs, LEC employs a gamut of time-tested tools and techniques.  Our approach is  holistic with a focus on the learner as the most important element of program design and implementation.  The choice of instructional materials and evaluation instruments is  influenced by and remains flexible and responsive to individual needs and interests, especially with regard to age; reading abilities, learning style preferences, and program resources.
