Leaders Inspiring Fruitful Tomorrows is the only nonprofit organization in San Antonio, Texas providing a structured mentoring program that engages students in middle school and guides their progression through college. We create opportunities for early exposure to professional persons of color in STEM career fields (and others based on student preference). We build relationships with students through frequent-scheduled mentoring. We create opportunities for students and their parents/guardians to learn about and create a financial plan for education. We introduce and develop soft skills in children with the goal of creating professional leaders with the ability to think critically.
