Civic Labs: Where Scholars Become Leaders of Change
At L.E.E.P TO COLLEGE FOUNDATION (L2C), our Civic Labs are more than workshops—they are incubators of leadership. Each lab equips scholars with hands-on experience in areas that strengthen both their personal growth and our community impact.
Alumni & Community Engagement
In this lab, scholars learn the power of connection. They design outreach strategies to engage alumni, foster mentorship, and build bridges with community partners. By practicing relationship-building, scholars see how networks sustain long-term success and legacy.
Fundraising & Development
Here, youth step into the role of changemakers. Scholars plan campaigns, draft appeals, and track impact, learning how resources fuel programs. They discover that fundraising isn’t just about dollars—it’s about telling a story that inspires people to invest in the future.
Marketing & Communication
This lab empowers scholars to become storytellers. From crafting social media posts to designing newsletters, they learn how clear, compelling communication mobilizes audiences. Scholars practice translating complex ideas into youth-friendly messages that resonate with peers, families, and funders alike.
The Impact of Civic Labs
Together, these Civic Labs give scholars:
-
Agency: They lead projects that directly shape alumni relations, fundraising success, and community visibility.
-
Skills: From campaign planning to digital communication, they gain tools for leadership in any field.
-
Impact: Their work strengthens our nonprofit’s reach, credibility, and sustainability, while inspiring the community to join in.
One scholar reflected, “I realized that fundraising and communication aren’t just tasks—they’re ways to make sure our voices and ideas last.” By centering youth in alumni engagement, fundraising, and communication, Civic Labs ensure that scholars are not only prepared for college and careers, but also for civic leadership that transforms communities.
