Power Lunch
Power Lunch
Our leadership development strategy includes high school students. Through our Power Lunch program, our DLF Youth staff team is in high schools on a weekly basis to reduce classroom disturbances and in-school suspension, while also working to increase attendance and on-time graduation rates.
DLF’s POWER Lunch and POWER Mentoring Programs guide students through a curriculum that focuses on issues like engaging with authority figures, conflict resolution, college readiness, financial literacy, community leadership building, navigating social media and making good choices that lead to success. By providing opportunities for students to engage in both groups and one-on-one, DLF can provide underserved students with the tools and skills that put them on a better path to thrive in school and later in life.
