BEYOND THE BOX

“Beyond the Box” is our program that is dedicated to developing opportunities for our girls to participate in activities and experiences that will expand their horizons. Our excursions include visits to places such as museums, movies, music recitals, plays, ballets, college campus activities, sports events, and cultural festivals. LOL, Inc. covers the cost of these events, the transportation, and the food for our girls.

CIRCLE OF LOVE MEETINGS

“Circle of Love” is a year-round program facilitated by our program mentors and volunteers both online and in person. We provide a safe haven and judgment-free zone where our girls can speak openly about their issues, concerns, and challenges. Our Circle discussions focus on areas such as peer pressure, setting goals, academic success, social media, bullying, relationships, self-love, and building self-esteem.

ONE-2-ONE LIFT

“One-2-One Lift” is our one-on-one mentorship program. Our girls are paired with a certified mentor who is trained to focus on building trust, positive reinforcement, and encouraging excellence. Our mentors engage with their mentee and assist in identifying needs and resources that will help our girls succeed.

LIFTING OTHERS

I'm a “Lifting Others” is our community service program. While we are committed to lifting our legacies, we also want to instill in them the importance of giving back and lifting others. We host periodic food, toy, and book drives that benefit our underserved communities. We also participate in community clean-up days.
