Mission
Legend In The Making Community Outreach Incorporated is a philanthropic leadership development that invests for the long-term in low-income middle and high school students from Miami Dade County. The mission of Legend In The Making Community Outreach Inc. is to cultivate resiliency, eagerness, altruism, and performance in young people who are at risk of failing to fulfill their potential in order to prepare these students to break the cycle of poverty for themselves and receive higher education so that they may lead in their communities.
Legend In The Making Community Outreach Inc. seeks to accomplish this mission through implementing experiential education programs, intensive long-term mentoring, and access to private resources that are usually unavailable to low-income students, including college counseling workshops and professional development. Throughout this unique and special intervention, students engage with other young people from diverse communities, find a forum to discover their authentic voices, and integrate their experiences into extended visions for their futures. The long term-goal of LITMCO is that individual students will not only transform their own lives, but that they develop and enhance skills and values to become a new generation of leaders, transforming the schools and communities in which they live.
