LEAD Center For Youth

Juneteenth reminds us that expanding access and creating pathways to success matters. Through athletics, academics, civic engagement, and commerce, L.E.A.D empowers youth to lead and transform their communities.

Summer may mean no school, but growth never stops at L.E.A.D Center for Youth. ⚾🎾

L.E.A.D continues to invest in kids on AND off the court and field. Through intentional programming and and support from many generous individuals and organizations, our student-athletes are building resilience, discipline, teamwork, confidence & leadership all summer long.

Academics + athletics go hand in hand, so let’s keep up the momentum this summer!

The 12th Annual Safe at Home Game is a month from today on Saturday July 11. Doors Open at 10am
with game time at 11am-2pm.

Our Ambassador Alums will be competing at Russ Chandler Stadium on the beautiful campus of Georgia Tech.

We’re excited to announce that Mayor Dickens will greet the crowd and help us kick off the 12th Annual Safe At Home Game at his Alma mater, Georgia Tech.

July 11th will be a powerful day! We’re bringing together youth, community leaders, and law enforcement through the game of baseball to create conversations, build trust, and strengthen connections that go far beyond the field.

Thank you, Mayor Dickens, for continuing to champion opportunities that invest in Atlanta’s youth and create safer, stronger communities for the next generation.

We want to wish the happiest of birthdays to our amazing Lady Ambassador Assistant Coach and CJ & Kelli’s daughter, Mackenna!

We’re so proud of the way she leads our Lady Ambassadors and serves as a phenomenal role model for these young ladies.

Most companies have values. Few have behavior that matches. 💼

At L.E.A.D. Center for Youth, we've built a system that changes that — the V2 Impact System™. iamcjstewart.com/v2-impact-system/

Through our Fireside Chats, Movement-Based Experiences, and Framework Training, we help your team:

✅ Close the gap between what you say you believe and how your people actually show up
✅ Build a culture of engagement, resilience, and retention
✅ Connect corporate investment to real community impact

We develop the youth you want to hire — and the adults you need to retain.

If your organization is ready to move beyond the poster on the wall, book a discovery call! iamcjstewart.com/v2-impact-system/
