ABOUT G.A.L

We are Passionate About Maximizing Human and Collective Potential

Promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion by fostering meaningful relationships with the world as we know it. We promote positive healthy coping skills, collective collaborative initiatives & personal growth.

The Greater American Leadership creates and supports initiatives fulfilled through Social, Educational, Economic, and Cultural programs that maximize individual and community potential.

Systemic Inequality exists through educational, social, political, economic, and cultural discrepancies instilled by institutional disruption. The result is a climate absent of explicit Inequality but still retains a means to enforce it.

Through program design and community implementation, we strive to reduce the negative ramifications of misinformation and miss-guidance oppression that have consistently spread throughout our community. Through Social, Emotional, Economic, and Cultural initiatives that facilitate positive and meaningful relationships, The Greater American Leadership seeks to propel:

Education Reform Programs and Advocacy- Workshops that showcase interdisciplinary educational growth. Educational Gap analysis and we provide community opportunities for meaningful engagement.
Criminal Justice Reform Programs and Advocacy- Workshops from lived experiences- the perspective from children of incarceration, formally incarcerated, and law enforcement. We promote reentry best practices and work with the community to humanize the process of workforce development.
