Life Paradigms, Inc. (LP) is dedicated to educating and empowering Black youth and their families. Our key initiatives are Leadership Development, Culture, Advocacy, and the Arts. Programs are sponsored by the City of Phoenix, Arizona State University Gammage, and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department.

Life Paradigm’s mission is to implement positive change in underserved communities through the intellectual/educational, emotional, and social development of youth, women, and those in the criminal justice system. LP’s intent is to create an awareness of the importance of personal and social responsibility. Through LP programs, participants learn to recognize their responsibilities to their families, their communities, and themselves.
