Every year, talented young people are overlooked—not because they lack potential, but because they lack opportunity.
The LIME Foundation connects underserved youth with mentorship, workforce training, and real career pathways that lead to lasting careers, stronger communities, and brighter futures.
Too many students graduate without knowing what careers are available to them, how to prepare for them, or who can help them get there. Others simply need someone to believe in them.
The LIME Foundation exists to change that.
Through workforce development, mentorship, creative arts, wellness, and strong industry partnerships, we help young people discover their potential and connect them with meaningful careers that strengthen both their lives and our local workforce.

The LIME Foundation fulfills a lifelong dream. I was bullied as a child due to the color of my skin, and it took a toll on me even into adulthood. My goal for The LIME Foundation is to give people the support needed to succeed despite any disadvantages they may have.
