Empowering Youth, One Gift at a Time: Lead the Way Launches Annual Giving Campaign


Lead The Way has officially kicked off its Annual Giving Campaign, and the impact of this moment is already being felt. Yesterday, we sat down with our CEO, Anthony Murphy, to talk about how every contribution directly supports the growth, empowerment, and success of the more than 600 youth we serve each year.


Anthony emphasized that Lead the Way’s mission is rooted in providing young people with access to meaningful opportunities—academic support, mentorship, workforce pathways, leadership experiences, and the tools they need to navigate their futures with confidence. None of this work is possible without the generosity of our community.


This year’s campaign focuses on strengthening and sustaining the experiences that matter most to our youth:

  • Career exploration and workforce readiness

  • College and leadership development

  • Mentoring and positive adult relationships

  • Hands‑on learning and community engagement

  • Essential resources that support student and family stability


As the need for comprehensive youth services continues to grow across Central Ohio, so does the importance of community involvement. Every donation—no matter the amount—helps us reach more young people, deepen our programs, and create long-term pathways to success.


Your support today can transform a student’s tomorrow.


To join us in empowering the next generation, we invite you to give, share, and help spread the word about this year’s Annual Giving Campaign. Together, we can continue to build a future where all youth have what they need to lead, succeed, and shine.
