At The LYF Project,
we are on a mission to transform the lives of Black and Brown young men by fostering holistic development that leads to improved wellbeing and enhanced outcomes. Inspired by the legacy of our founder's late younger brother DeAndre, whose loving spirit and phrase “Love You Fool” now fuels our work, The LYF Project is dedicated to equipping young men aged 14-25 with the space, tools, resources, and support they need to thrive.
We believe in the power of love, connection, and intentionality, all leading to liberation to be one's greatest self. Through curated experiences, strategic partnerships, and innovative programs, we empower young men to embrace their identities, develop emotional intelligence, and step confidently into their world ready to make lasting positive impact.
