OUR MISSION
Our mission is to advance equity by preserving the legacy of the late Congressman John R. Lewis through dynamic community engagement and service projects.
The Future Is Already in the Room.
Camp Promise is JRLLI's youth leadership experience designed to equip young people with the confidence, character, relationships and decision-making skills they need to lead. Through mentorship, interactive learning, leadership development and honest conversations about the challenges young people face, Camp Promise helps students recognize the power of their choices, their voices and their futures.
Our Work
Three pillars guide everything JRLLI does: Social Justice, Equity in Education, and Health Awareness.
Social Justice
Carrying forward Congressman Lewis's fight for equity and justice in our communities.
Equity in Education
Programs and support that close the achievement gap for young people.
Health Awareness
Programs that raise awareness and expand access to health resources in our community.
"Ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part."
