Our Vision
As students in the 18th leadership class of Next Level Trainings, part of our transformational curriculum was to create a large-scale community service project for a local non-profit organization. Our team chose to support LSS Faith Mission in Columbus, OH. Faith Mission provides shelter, food, employment readiness, clothing, health care, case management, and veterans services to people in need. Our leadership class committed to raising $162,000, collecting 5,000 tangible goods, and providing 3,000 hours of volunteer support – all within 35 days.
