PROGRAMS

Glean – Mentoring Program (Women and Youth)

Description – Considered the flagship program of LOU this programming ranges from six to twelve months. The commitment and desired goals will determine the required timeframe for each individual participant. Trust, personal growth and relationship building is instilled during the program period and the expectation is for the participant to see improvement, momentum and realistic goals achieved.
