Dear LEAD Supporters,

When I think back on all that we accomplished in 2019, I am in awe!

More than 350 of you partnered with us by volunteering time and resources to support LEAD programs, in turn allowing us to serve over 200 girls. We recognize that we could not have done this without you, and we know that you could have chosen to support any organization but you chose to LEAD!

Serving as board chair has allowed me to see the best facets of our community: the passion for our girls, generosity of supporters, selflessness of volunteers, and tireless efforts of board members. I know that together we can #changeagirl #changeacommunity #changetheworld, and I stand committed to meeting any challenges we may face with integrity, transparency, and unity.

Thank you for believing in the mission of LEAD. I am excited about another year of forward progress for our girls, for our community.

Sincerely,

Tiffany ParmsBoard Chair

Our MissionLearning Everyday Accomplishing Dreams (LEAD) is dedicated to providing the tools and resources that low-income/at-risk preteen girls must have to become productive citizens and active leaders in their communities. Using an evidence-based curriculum, LEAD encourages and mentors girls to aspire and achieve greatness academically, emotionally and creatively.

Our VisionChange a girl. Change a community. Change the world.

We envision a world where every girl has the confidence, social skills and leadership ability she needs to become an independent, financially-stable woman.

LEAD ProgramsOur five core programs are: LEAD Program, Community LEAD,

LEAD Academy, LEAD Fashion Entrepreneurship Summer Camp

and LEAD Girls Rising Expo.

Since launching LEAD in 2015, more than 500 girls have benefited from

our programs. Through our partnership with Winston-Salem/Forsyth

County Schools in 2019, we enrolled over 200 girls at one of our four

school-year sites: Mineral Springs Middle School, Wiley Magnet Middle

School, Winston-Salem Preparatory Academy and our Community LEAD

Program.

In addition to students from our partner schools, at Community LEAD we

serve students from other local Title One schools, charter schools, and girls

who are referred to our program by Juvenile Justice Courts and Forsyth

County Department of Social Services.
