History

The 1 By 1 Leadership Foundation emerged in 2006 from an idea that was sparked back in the 1960s in the city of Pittsburgh, PA.  This ignited a holy fire as the idea to engage local leaders of good faith and goodwill to develop joint initiatives to address the city’s most pressing societal issues began to spread. What started out in Pittsburgh so many decades ago has now touched communities, towns and cities all over the world, including our very own city of Immokalee, a migrant town located in SW Florida.

Mission

To mobilize people of faith and goodwill to develop community-based solutions to systemic challenges facing youth and families in support of social progress in Immokalee.

Our goal is to create a community web of hope for Immokalee’s youth and families by collaborating across community sectors to help mobilize youth advocates towards fulfilling Six Community Promises*: 
  1. Connect Young People with Caring Adults
  2. Create Safe Places Where Students Know They are Loved, Respected and Valued
  3. Ensure that Young Children are Well Nourished and Have a Healthy Start
  4. Provide Pathways for All Students to Take Part in Effective Education
  5. Promote Opportunities for Young People to Help Others
  6. Offer Mental Health Access to All Young People In Need

 *The first 5 Promises were conceived by Bill Milliken and adapted by America’s Promise.
