Let Them Stay Little Campaign

All you have to do is spend 5 minutes on social media to see that youth are growing up incredibly fast. They are faced with immense responsibilities, social pressures, and anxieties. Kids are desperate to fit in and are changing who they are to do so.

This is why Like a Lion is emphasizing our priority to "Let Them Stay Little." The kids that walk through our doors often have the world on their shoulders. They have experienced hardships and challenges that you wouldn't wish on anyone, let alone a child. These heavy situations often strip our kids of getting to focus on the things of childhood. We are committed to giving them a space where they can just be kids!

This looks like creating a culture where kids aren't "too cool" to do things. We encourage creative play and work hard to cultivate the love of learning that is inside each child. We prioritize relationships because if kids feel safe and known, they are more likely to allow themselves to participate fully in games and activities without feeling embarrassed.

Can YOU join us in creating a culture of youthfulness at Like a Lion? Your tax-deductible, year-end gift will support a program that is dedicated to being a safe space where kids can be kids!
