Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

LEAD TRAINING IS A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT THAT EQUIPS STUDENTS IN GRADES K - 12 WITH CAREER READINESS, LIFE SKILLS, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED. THROUGH HANDS-ON LEARNING AND REAL-WORLD EXPOSURE, LEAD TRAINING EMPOWERS YOUNG PEOPLE TO CONFIDENTLY NAVIGATE THEIR FUTURE BY PROVIDING THE SKILLS, CONFIDENCE, AND OPPORTUNITIES NEEDED TO THRIVE IN LIFE AND IN THE WORKPLACE, REGARDLESS OF BACKGROUND OR CIRCUMSTANCE. LEAD TRAINING FOCUSES ESPECIALLY ON THOSE STUDENTS WHO FEEL STUCK, UNSUPPORTED, OR UNCERTAIN ABOUT THEIR FUTURE, NURTURING THEM INTO ENGAGED, EMPOWERED, AND FORWARD-THINKING LEADERS WITH A CLEAR SENSE OF PURPOSE AND DIRECTION.

Activities or mission (Part I)

LEAD TRAINING IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT DEVELOPS AND DELIVERS CAREER-READINESS, LIFE-SKILLS, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING PROGRAMS FOR GRADES K THROUGH 12, PREPARING YOUNG PEOPLE FOR LIFE SUCCESS.

  • LEAD TRAINING'S HIGH SCHOOL WORKFORCE INITIATIVE (HSWI) PREPARES THE NEXT GENERATION OF PROFESSIONALS THROUGH CAREER EXPLORATION, EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING, AND EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS TRAINING, ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS NOT PURSUING A TRADITIONAL FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE PATH.

IN THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, THE INITIATIVE SERVED OVER 2,500 STUDENTS, UP FROM 1,700 IN THE PRIOR YEAR. OVER 400 STUDENTS RECEIVED INDIVIDUALIZED GUIDANCE WITH ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT. THE INITIATIVE BEGAN OFFERING A MEDICAL PATHWAY PROGRAM IN THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, INCLUDING STNA CERTIFICATION, DRIVER'S EDUCATION, AND CONNECTION TO HOSPITAL-BASED ROLES. THE FUTURE LEADERS PROGRAM FOCUSES ON TEACHING STUDENTS 21ST-CENTURY SKILLS AND SOLCIAL -EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) THAT SUPPORT THEIR ACADEMIC, PERSONAL, AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
