Founders' Story

L.I.F.T began when the founders closest friend, someone who came out of the juvenile justice system, and was in foster care, did not know how to get ahead in life, especially with a lack of resources and stigma in society. Our founders, having experienced the transformative power of financial literacy and professional development, came together to create an organization that would make these essential skills accessible to all.

What started as a small initiative has grown into a global movement, with chapters across the world. Our journey continues as we work to expand our reach and deepen our impact.
