“I began LeadersNow International out of love and compassion for young women. Having a daughter of my own, as well as having lost a sister due to an eating disorder, I was troubled by the negative messages young women receive in the world and in the media about their value being in what size they wear or how physically attractive they are.  I felt compelled to found an organization that would help young women discover their true dignity, worth, and value.

LNI is an organization that supports young women throughout the most critical years of their lives; when they are discovering who they are, their unique gifts and talents, and what makes them special.  Our programs transform young women from within, giving them the formation, support, and practical tools they need to become confident young women who fully appreciate their worth and make a positive impact on society as a result.”
