Our After-school program LEAD (Leadership, Enrichment, Academics, and Discovery) provides reading and math assistance, along with homework help, for K-8th grade students. LEAD’s primary objective is to positively impact student success—in the classroom and the community—by focusing on outcomes tailored to each individual student, and his or her unique strengths and challenges.

In addition to the academics, kids in the Paiute Promise Neighborhood will also have:

Leadership Development
Spiritual Growth Opportunities
Sports & Physical Activity
Art & Music
And much more

iLEAD

iLEAD My Generation is designed specifically for our High School students.   A unique feature of the program is that each iLEADer becomes paid, part-time staff, working with MentorKids’ teachers to mentor younger students.

This allows them to learn life and leadership skills while they earn a paycheck, highlighting the dignity and importance of work. The iLEAD program enables our High School students to build their resumes while still participating in advanced academic support, leadership development, and Spiritual Growth opportunities.
