About us
L.E.A.D.'s mission is to empower an at-risk generation to lead and transform their City of Atlanta. Through the power of sport, L.E.A.D. uses baseball to educate and empower the city's most vulnerable students on how to overcome three curveballs they face in life: crime, poverty and racism. Our Pathway2Empowerment is a year round program model for 350 students in Atlanta Public Schools that focuses on four pillars: athletics, education, civic engagement and commerce. These pillars are wrapped in our six organizational core values: excellence, humility, integrity, loyalty, stewardship and teamwork. The Ambassadors who graduate from L.E.A.D. are civically engaged, compassionate leaders who are prepared to make a positive impact in the community and in any industry they choose.

We had an incredible experience during the L.E.A.D. Barnstorming Tour in Gainesville, Newnan, and Rome. From thought-provoking discussions to engaging with the local community, the energy and passion were exceptional. Our boys gained invaluable lessons about the game and life, creating new connections with other youth players across Georgia. Thank you to our host city captains, their teams, and everyone who attended and contributed to making these events unforgettable. The last stop on the tour is the Safe At Home here in Atlanta on August 17! Come out to Russ Chandler Stadium at Georgia Institute of Technology to enjoy a game between our Ambassador Alum and local law enforcement. Visit SafeAtHomeGame.com for more details and registration. See you soon! https://lnkd.in/eCMBwJmH #LEADCenterForYouth #SafeAtHomeGame #Atlanta #Baseball
