THE ASSEMBLY
LYFT is an experience aimed at empowering, encouraging and inspiring students to look outside of themselves, see the needs of their fellow students and to then come up with creative ways to lift themselves through lifting others.

MY FOUNDATION
Our Mission
Empowering the youth of today with mental health resources to navigate the challenges they face and become healthy, resilient adults.
THE LYFT EXPERIENCE is not designed to add a new program in your school! It is designed to work with whatever peer support groups and programs you already have in place. (e.g. Hope Squad, Sources of Strength etc.) through the following actions…
-
First is to Prep it.
LYFT begins by meeting with the administration, the faculty and the student body officers and any leadership group that is centered around positivity, to discuss the needs of the school and to make sure everyone is on the same page and committed to positive change.
-
Second is to Inspire it.
This is done through an assembly that is engaging, exciting and full of energy while delivering as a message that resonates with students and inspires commitment to lift others.
-
Third is to Organize Action.
After the assembly we capitalize on the momentum and energy by calling for action. By connecting with us and utilizing your peer leadership groups, we communicate positive uplifting messages, and challenges each week to help increase the impact among your students.
-
Fourth is to Grow it.
In addition to the continual support of the administration and faculty…We continue to stop by the school long after the assembly is over to put on lunch activities to help promote further change and continue to inspire students to lift those around them.
-
Fifth is to Support it.
In this phase as an organization, we will solicit help from parents, and other volunteers to reach out in the community and gather support from local businesses and sponsors to donate resources for students to use in their efforts to LYFT as well as any additional meetings or trainings the school would like.
-
Sixth is to allow Students to Run with It.
The end goal of LYFT is exactly what it stands for. Students lifting students. LYFT is meant to be a student led movement. In the end the movement is handed over to the students and inhouse organizations to run and grow the positivity, with continued support from us and the community. As students take ownership, it will take on a life of it’s own within the school!
WHAT THE LYFT EXPERIENCE LOOKS LIKE…
We’ve adopted the Sheep Dog as our official mascot and symbol, because it’s sheepdogs that watch over the flock and drive away the wolves.

Make a donation.
You can make a difference in the lives of teenagers by donating to LOVE HARD and LYFT. Every donation will go towards the program and supporting the efforts of teens to lift their fellow teens. We are currently taking donations for LYFT kits. String backpacks filled with things teenagers need and love, as well as notes from their peers. Students can submit names of other students who are really struggling and in need of a LYFT and we’ll get them a LYFT kit. 25.00 dollars buys one LYFT kit for a teenager that is struggling.
The best way to find students that are struggling isn’t from teachers or even parents but from other students. As a pat of LYFT students can submit the names of other students they feel need to be LYFTed and receive a LYFT kit.
LYFT Kits are filled with gift cards, treats, donations from businesses and notes of encouragement from friends and peers…Sponsor a LYFT kit today!
