The Ludacris Foundation inspires youth through education and memorable experiences to live their dreams by uplifting families, communities and fostering economic development.
We have three areas of focus:
Leadership and Education
This program challenges youth to create a roadmap for their future by setting goals, creating timelines and taking specific actions toward their success.
This program involves youth focusing on their own health and ultimately their own future. Youth participate in cooking a healthy meal while learning more about healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes. Kids receive simple instructions on how to prepare healthy meals at home. The Healthy Lifestyle program offers encouragement for improving eating habits and reducing obesity in a fun environment. They also learn the importance of physical activity in their daily lives.
Every September, The Ludacris Foundation helps prepare students for a successful school year. At our Back to School events youth receive school supplies, tools and tips for grooming, discussions on why education matters and preventative services like vision check-ups.
During the holidays, The Ludacris Foundation focuses on underprivileged youth and families in housing communities around the country. LudaCares supports community events, hospitals and other outreach programs. Toys, food and clothing are provided to children and their families. This program was launched in the Atlanta neighborhoods of the Bankhead Community, Herndon and Hollywood Homes and has expanded to include Chicago, Miami and New York City.
