With the belief that lifting up the community starts with intentionally investing in its youth and residents, For The Kingdom has established the LEAD Academy initiative to empower and support the next generations through holistic development of self and giving access to career pathways.
The purpose of LEAD Academy is to create a pathway for young people to become industry-leading professionals. This initiative aims to align education with experience that will ultimately allow participants to have access to sustainable opportunities. Through our partnership with the TN Department of Labor and the National Basketball Association Foundation (NBA Foundation), we offer paid apprenticeship opportunities. LEAD Academy focuses on developing not only job-related skills, but also personal character, mindset, and life skills. We will develop participants to understand themselves internally along with the fundamentals of financial literacy.
