Born into every American community are the talents and skills it needs to address its most critical challenges. But for far too many young people across the country, success has been defined as leaving home and never coming back. Lead For America believes that building stronger communities, and a stronger America, starts by serving and leading, where you live. LFA is a national service program building the next generation of leaders for our country and communities across all 50 states. Through the LFA's Hometown Fellowship, Fellows serve in a paid, full-time capacity alongside a local leader in their hometown or home state for one year, before advancing into positions of community, state, and national leadership for decades to come.
