Making a positive impact starts with taking small, simple actions. Our partnership with Naturade and Costco Wholesale is a testament to that. Because when you purchase Naturade’s High Protein Weight Loss Shake at Costco, you’re not just doing something good for yourself—you’re also helping to fund LEADing for Life scholarships that empower the bright, ambitious high school students we serve in underresourced communities. Last year, the Naturade Scholarship was awarded to Kaleb Reyes, giving him the boost he needed to excel even further. Watch the video to hear about one of the major highlights from his time with LEADing for Life. Please join us in advancing the next generation of LEADers. If you’re an alum we’re tagging you in to help us make the most of this special opportunity. Shop at Costco.com or visit your LA area Costco to pick up your Naturade today! #LEADingForLifeEnterprise #Naturade #Costco #SupportBlackOwned

We are beyond proud to partner with LEADing for Life alum, Claude Tellis, and his wellness brand, Naturade, as part of a generous initiative with Costco Wholesale to support our scholars. This collaboration is about much more than business. It’s about empowering the next generation of LEADers to use their gifts, skill sets, and experiences to selflessly change the world for the better. Every purchase of Naturade’s High Protein Weight Loss Shake at Costco contributes to scholarships for students in the underresourced communities we reach through our college and career readiness programs. To our LEADing for Life community—whether you're an alum like Claude, a coach or mentor, a sponsor or partner, or a friend—consider this your invitation to do your part in this impact initiative. Click the link in our comments to buy Naturade now. Or if you’re in the LA area, make a stop at your nearest Costco. #LEADingForLifeEnterprise #Naturade #Costco #SupportBlackOwned

It’s National Financial Awareness Day! It’s never too early or too late to learn more about money. LEARNers, take some time today to review your spending habits (your bank app can help), create a simple budget for the rest of this month, and make a commitment to improve your money mindset—books, podcasts, and YouTube are a great start! Whether you're learning the basics of financial literacy or leveling-up your investing strategies, every bit of knowledge helps you build a stronger financial foundation. #FinancialAwarenessDay #LifelongLearning #LEADingForLifeEnterprise

Within all of our college and career readiness programs, we prioritize helping LEARNers develop emotional intelligence. And a key part of that is supporting them in building self-advocacy. Self-advocacy is your ability to speak up for yourself, own your greatness in any room, and ensure that your hard work doesn’t get overlooked. Our programs and learning experiences are designed to cultivate these kinds of skills because we know that to truly LEAD for life, you have to practice self-advocacy. Success is not just about getting great grades or advancing your career—it’s about making sure your excellence is seen and heard along the way, even if you’re the one who has to shine a light on it. Watch this video featuring Tanika Cabral, VP & General Manager at The Coca-Cola Company, as she explains why self-advocacy is critical and offers a pro tip on how to advocate for yourself, even if you're not used to talking about your achievements.
