MLIFE began in 2017 to support children ages 13-17 to read critically, think creatively, write clearly, and speak confidently. In 2018, MLIFE began to empower high-potential and high-impacting youths ages 18-27 to realize their educational, career, and entrepreneurship goals through our 1-year experiential leadership program. MLIFE also supports community programs to aid families

living in the margins
in meeting their basic needs.

We call our theory of change Spirituali-TEA.

Programs

Individual stage-specific and community cultivation.

LEAP - Learning Enrichment
& Acceleration Program

Age-specific - Children and transitional youths ages 5-20

Through our Newspaper in Education (NIE) initiative, LEAP leverage the New York Times and other periodicals to support under-resourced students experiencing learning poverty to move from "learning to read" to "reading to learn."

MLOVE - Leaders of Openness, Virtue, and Empathy

Age-specific - Young adults ages 21-34

RAPID - Relief Aid for People in Despair

Community - All ages & people welcome

We invest in bold solutions that tackle poverty and emerging crises by providing unconditional small cash grants to economically disadvantaged families in despair and investment grants to solutionists creating change in their communities.

Ecclesia

Community - All ages & people welcome

We provide a radical, welcoming, and affirming space to explore spirituality (or not) for those who scarcely believe they belong--the disenfranchised, the discriminated against, and those locked in poverty to break bread and find a sabbath rest.

Spaces of Grace

Community - Anyone 21+

We are a healing and safe space for those struggling with shame, rejection, life stressors, or trauma to find a relational container for self-work, connection, and learning through peer support, human relationships, support groups, and counseling.
