Every young man deserves to be part of something extraordinary. At L.A.U.N.C.H for Life, we deliver experiences that help young men realize their potential and cultivate the same in others. Through curated events and hands-on opportunities, they develop the confidence, compassion, and resilience needed to become Richmond's next generation of leaders.

When young men grow together through shared challenges and achievements, they build bonds that last a lifetime. Our dynamic group mentoring approach doesn't just transform individual lives – it creates a powerful ripple effect throughout Richmond.

Our Impact in Transforming Richmond

Since our founding in 2021, L.A.U.N.C.H for Life has earned recognition as a Community Champions Award winner for our work in Chesterfield County. Why? Because our programs work:

We provide comprehensive mentorship through free group programs that evolve as our young men grow
Our structured pathway includes Junior, Graduate, and Ambassador programs, beginning with young men aged 12 to 16.
We engage families and guardians to create a complete support system
Every dollar invested in youth mentoring generates at ~$3 in benefits to society.

The Challenge We Face

In Richmond and across America, young men without father figures or positive male role models face staggering odds:

71% become high school dropouts
85% end up in the prison system
60% of youth suicides come from fatherless homes
90% of homeless and runaway children lack father figures

But together, we can change these statistics.
