LEAD was founded by Ely Flores in 2010. Its origins are rooted in grassroots community organizing, youth, community, and leadership development.

"I began LEAD because I wanted to offer young people an opportunity to change their lives, their families, and their communities like a YouthBuild program once did for me. I came from a fatherless home, poverty, and youth incarceration to now being a local, national, and international leader, social entrepreneur, and college graduate. This is my way to give back to my community and pursue my passion for community, economic, and civic development." - Ely Flores In 2014, LEAD established a home in Lincoln Heights with the goal of building youth leadership and furthering community, economic, and civic development in Northeast Los Angeles. One of LEAD's strongest programs is LEAD YouthBuild in partnership with YouthBuild USA and YouthBuild Charter School of California. Its goal is to empower young people of Northeast Los Angeles to complete their high school education and continue on to post-secondary education or find a career that best utilizes their talents, skills, and passion.
Mission: Leadership through Empowerment, Action, and Dialogue Inc. is a grassroots organization that builds youth leadership, equitable communities, and agents of social transformation.

These devoted students from our campuses at AV YouthBuild, LEAD, Crcd YouthDevelopment, CRCD Academy at All Peoples, ACE's RUTH YouthBuild & GRYD, Hsh YouthBuild, and W I N T E R YouthBuild gave up their Spring Break to learn how to code.

YouthBuild Charter School of California
Last week, YouthBuild Charter School of California students enrolled in the YouthBuild Construction Career Pathways Training Program spent their Spring Break at the 2017 Basic Academy, which is held every year at a different YCSC site. This year's event was held at our Norwalk location at Field of Dreams Learning, Inc. These young pre-apprentice trainees completed section three of the Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3), which covers Construction, Health, and Safety. The first two days of the event found them earning their OSHA 10 hour training card, while mid-week they completed CPR and First Aid training. They finished the week off with a team building project, builiding free mini libraries to install later this month in and around the City of Norwalk. Trainees from eight different YouthBuild sites, located throughout Los Angeles County, including YouthBuild Charter Sgvcc, ACE's RUTH YouthBuild & GRYD, FREE LA High School, LEAD, W I N T E R YouthBuild, and Field of Dreams Learning, were invited to attend this year's event. Thanks to all who helped make this event a huge success. Special thanks to Sayaka Ponce from Field of Dreams YouthBuild for hosting, Vincent Butt and UCLA-LOSH for providing CPR and First Aid training.
