In this 16 minute video, the LeBron James Family Foundation, Akron Public Schools, and the City of Akron announce the creation of the “I Promise School”.
At about 14:30 in this video, LeBron says that the infrastructure, the mentors, the leaders are here for the kids, but it’s also a reminder to the adults “that it’s our job to put forth the effort to help these kids understand that they do have a purpose in life, individually and collectively”
The LJFF has many partners working to make this school a reality. A key component to these efforts are the contributions of individual community members. There is a role for everyone in the education of the next generation. I encourage everyone in Akron to ask “What can I do?” and then step up and help make a difference in our hometown.
