pow PROJECT
The POW project was created to cultivate leadership and business skills in young adults to inspire and prepare them to be the business leaders of the future. POW collaborates with the LEMO Foundation to establish mentoring programs for young men and women. POW members and leaders act as role models and facilitate business activities to teach skills such as public speaking and business design and planning. Our purpose is to prepare the next generation to fulfill the leadership roles of the future.
the lemo FOUNDATION
David (T) and Ali Taufoou founded the LEMO Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Redwood City, California in 2008. Their vision was to create a home base where at-risk youth could come to feel safe, build positive relationships, develop their dreams and thrive. The vision began with one woman, Betty Taufoou. Betty was a single mother whose unconditional love, passion, hard work and dedication to T and his sister, Trina, became the inspiration for the LEMO Foundation. Inspired by Betty’s commitment to family, T founded LEMO Foundation to honor her memory and began his own journey to create opportunities for under-resourced teens to pursue their dreams for a better life. Today, LEMO impacts hundreds of kids and directly supports 20 Playmakers each year with academic support, athletic training and life skills development. |
