A Desire to Overcome

LEP focuses on the leadership development of young men of color at the freshmen and sophomore college levels. Based in Atlanta, our objective is to recruit students who have demonstrated a desire to overcome disadvantages and barriers that threaten their path to lifelong opportunity.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

— Former President, Barack Obama
