Because Our Kids Deserve More Than Survival

---

Some of our young people have already seen way too much - pain, pressure, poverty, or just plain neglect. At the Lulu and Laura Foundation, we're not here to judge their story. We're here to help them rewrite it. 

We don't do performative outreach. We show up with consistency, care, and tools that actually mean something in the real world. 

• Teens & young adults (ages 13-24)
• Youth impacted by the justice system
• Those aging out of foster care or group homes
• Young people dealing with trauma, instability, or just needing guidance

We don't believe in cookie-cutter programming. We meet youth where they are and walk beside them as they out who they want to be. 

• Mentorship (by people who actually care)
• Life skills training (budgeting, cooking, planning, conflict resolution)
• Workforce readiness (resumes, job training, soft skills, mock interviews)
• Creative expression spaces (art, music, spoken word, photography)
• Safe events + meetups - to build community, not cliques

We keep it flexible but structured. Real but safe. Tough love, rooted in real love. 

We're always looking for:

• Mentors
• Volunteers
• Local businesses willing to give a young person a shot
• Donations for supplies, food, and transportation
