About Us

Rise Up. Speak Up. Join Up.

What started as an idea became a reality in 2019 with the very first HBCU Tour. The tour, which served a commitment to exposing youth to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), began to pave the way for these young people to envision themselves on these campuses. From this first HBCU tour, our student-led program, now known as Legacy Leaders of Tomorrow, was created. Our tours take place in October (Fall break) and March (Spring break) and is an all-inclusive experience that takes high school students from all over AZ and has also had students from California, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina join us on this experience. The tour which is As of June 2023, we have reached over 1000+ students, had 274 students who have attended our HBCU tours, watched 100% of our high school seniors graduate from our program and have 70% seniors who are currently attending HBCUs, and we look to continue to provide amazing opportunities for our families and watch the lives of our youth be changed. “In order to reward a legacy, you have to seize the moment.”

Since 2019

"My heartfelt thanks to you Mr. George & your Leadership/Chaperones for all of the selfless effort, late nights, the awesome communication with us before, during, and after the trip and for loving on and caring about our kids. I truly believe this is an assignment from God...which is why it was so successful"

INCOMING AMBASSADOR PRESIDENT

"My tour experiences were very eye opening. The tours have always had a meaning, they always had me wondering what my next steps were. The tour committee did a great job of helping people step out of their comfort zones and into the people they are destined to become. The tour taught you that you, YOU are the person that controls where you go. I've been taught that no matter what, hard work and dedication will lift you up and help you rise above those who want to keep you down."

This is MORE THAN A TOUR, it's an EXPERIENCE!
