About Be A Leader Foundation

Download Annual Report

The Be A Leader Foundation designs programs that provide a positive learning environment and a college-focused mentality for each participant to develop their high school and college educational plan (4 plus 4 plan). We work directly with middle school and high school students in primarily inner-city schools to engage them in active development of their self-esteem, leadership skills and long term preparation of their 4 plus 4 plan. Ultimate success is achieved through our long-term relationship and stewardship of their educational evolution from middle school into high school, culminating with active participation at the university level and ultimately a college degree.

Teacher or Parent

Along with cooperation of educational institutions, corporations and community leaders, parent involvement is equally or more important to promoting a college-going mentality to their children. As a result, BALF has instituted Be A Leader Parent Clubs for parents with middle school and high school students. Our parent clubs meet every other month at the Roosevelt Elementary School District and Phoenix Union High School District Board rooms. All parents, regardless, of what district their child attends, are invited to attend the meetings. During the meetings parents are presented with the same college-going information being presented to their children and given suggestions as to how best support BALF’s efforts at home to create a college bound student. Collaboration between BALF, parents and school districts will ensure that our students get the support and mentorship they need to see a college degree as a realistic dream.
