Leaders in Training (LIT) Supporter,

Human rights activist Grace Lee Boggs' words hang at the front of the LIT office greeting students daily: "We are the leaders we've been looking for."

Because of you, high school freshman to college graduates are empowered to be the change from the community, for the community. Thank you for supporting a results-yielding and destiny-defying Year 7. From our first college graduate seven years later to 9th graders completing their first year of LIT, we are changing the world together because of your support.

While I invite you to check out our end of year results below, I also ask you to consider seeing these results in action. On July 27, 2019 at The Space, LIT is hosting a special one-time event of storytelling and inspiration as students share their journeys of struggle, triumph and their hopes for our Las Vegas community. Buy your $25 ticket here. And don't forget to vote for LIT in NV Energy's Power for Good contest here. Thank you for changing the world through your support,

Erica V. Mosca
Founder & Executive Director
On June 6, 2019, in front of 300+ LIT students, families & supporters, Cohort 4 graduating seniors received their LIT Year 1-4 completion scholarships at the 5th Annual Senior Scholarship Celebration. Check out Channel 13 news coverage and pictures from the event. 28 students will be the first in their family to attend college committing to using their education and success to empower the Las Vegas community.
On May 17, 2019 the first ever LIT college graduate earned a BS in Information Systems from the University of Nevada, Reno. "I am so thankful I have the support system I have. The last four years have been an amazing experience at UNR, and with the closing of this chapter, I open the next in my life. Thank you to my parents, my siblings, my closest friends, and all of LIT for supporting me through this amazing journey!" Leader Angel, LIT Cohort 1+, UNR & Eldorado HS alum

"Every social justice movement that I know of has come out of people sitting in small groups, telling their life stories, and discovering that other people have shared similar experiences." -Gloria Steinem
