Today, LifeLab is still largely two people — Elijah and Kamene, working with families directly. Reaching thousands of families takes what most nonprofits call infrastructure: trained facilitators, curriculum, technology, and partnerships. That's not another program to fund. It's the foundation everything else stands on, and it's what your gift helps us build.
Our first milestone: 1,000 families and incarcerated individuals reached in the next two years.
LifeLab Programs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization; donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. EIN 33-3967735.
Nearly 4 in 10 U.S. high schoolers report persistent sadness or hopelessness, and most parents feel far more ready for that conversation than their teens do. Your gift funds the facilitators, curriculum, and sessions that close that gap — one family at a time.
