Who we are
At Larger Than L.I.F.E. Foundation, we believe every young person deserves the chance to rise above their circumstances and step boldly into their potential. Founded in Memphis, our nonprofit is dedicated to empowering youth, uplifting families, and strengthening communities through mentorship, education, leadership development, and mental health support.
We exist to stand in the gap for children and families facing hardship, loss, or limited opportunities. Our programs are designed to provide resources and create lasting change, building confidence, resilience, and leadership skills that prepare young people for success in every area of life.
What makes us different is our commitment to connection. We walk alongside youth and families, hand in hand, offering guidance, encouragement, and community. Because when we rise together, we lead together, and together, we are Larger Than L.I.F.E.
