🌟OUR STORY

LEEC was founded by a survivor who turned personal struggle into a movement of hope, structure, and empowerment. What began as a personal rhythm of rebuilding has grown into a community‑wide effort to strengthen families, restore stability, and create pathways for long‑term success.

Every program, message, and service we offer is shaped by lived experience — real challenges, real healing, and real transformation.

⭐“Founder’s Message” Section

“LEEC was built from lived experience, steady rhythm, and the belief that every survivor deserves stability and dignity. Thank you for walking this journey with us.”

Founder’s Message

The Ups and Downs of Employment & Safety in the Workplace

Employment is not always steady. For many survivors, it comes with real ups and downs — moments of progress, moments of setback, and moments where the workplace itself becomes unsafe or unpredictable. I know this journey personally, and I built the Learn & Earn Empowerment Center so survivors never have to navigate it alone.

Survivors bring strength, resilience, and lived experience that can transform any workplace. But too often, they are expected to perform without the safety, structure, or accommodations they need to stay employed, grow, and compete fairly. Safety in the workplace is not optional — it is the foundation that allows survivors to show up fully, learn new skills, and build independence.

At LEEC, we teach survivors how to use their tools — documentation, communication, identity, technology, and self‑advocacy — to protect themselves and stay competitive. We help them understand their rights, request accommodations without fear, and build the confidence to stand in their truth. When survivors have the right support, they don’t just survive employment; they succeed in it.
