Leaha Crawford Highlights Uplift Foundation’s Mentorship Programs, Justice Reform Efforts, and Scholarship Success

Leaha Crawford hosts a program discussing the Uplift Foundation of Nevada, led by Rick Austin. The foundation, established in 2002, focuses on mentoring youth and reducing juvenile justice involvement. Key programs include the Omega Gents, which provides mentorship and college preparation, and the Youth and Justice Forum on September 6, aimed at reducing youth in the juvenile justice system. The forum, involving law enforcement, lawyers, and law students, has shown an 84% reduction in youth entering the system. Other initiatives include Q Cuts, providing haircuts and school supplies, and the Scholarship Luncheon, awarding $37,000 in scholarships.
