Help at-risk youth find their path forward
Invest in the next generation. Leon's Legacy works every day in Gwinnett and Walton County to give single parents, at-risk youth, and individuals returning from the justice system the tools they actually need — financial literacy, job readiness, mentorship, and a clear path forward. Your support through volunteering, donations, or sharing your professional expertise as a guest speaker helps young people aged 17 and under rebuild their identity, develop real-world skills, and step into adulthood with purpose and confidence. Every contribution moves the work forward.

Mentors help youth build confidence, decision-making skills, and strategies for overcoming obstacles they face daily.
Accountability and support
Mentors provide consistent check-ins, celebrate wins, and offer steady support as youth work toward their personal goals.
