student's comprise our 'LMH Youth Advisory Board', which lets them voice their opinions on sustaining our programs to benefit future youth better. our youth happily place this experience on their résumés, exposing them to scholarship opportunities.

 Let's Go ~ See youth empowerment come alive. 
LMH 'Create with Ro' Mission STATEMENT - “Our youth genealogy program transforms curiosity into confidence, silence into storytelling, and disconnection into deep, lasting roots. Our students gain pride in their heritage, build stronger bonds with elders, and develop the skills and self-understanding needed to thrive in their communities and beyond.”

So get ready for a program that empowers students to unleash their creativity, celebrate their identity, and bring their personal stories to life! Students dive into an exciting mix of art, genealogy, and STEAM to create their own vibrant history book—packed with meaning, personality, and pride. For students who may not know their cultural background, Create with Ro transforms that challenge into a source of empowerment. They get to design a book that honors the people, moments, and communities that truly feel like family.
The result is a bold, beautiful, coffee-table–worthy masterpiece they’ll proudly show off, continue to build upon, and treasure for years to come. Participants say this experience is more than a project—it's an unforgettable opportunity to share their journey with creativity, confidence, and genuine self-expression!

Our program empowers young people to discover and elevate their confidence through the transformative power of the arts. By expressing themselves creatively, participants celebrate their heritage, their voice, and their unique identities.
Through our Youth Advisory Board, they jump into leadership—sharing their ideas, shaping our program's future, and ensuring it continues to inspire generations to come. This experience becomes more than a moment; it’s a milestone. LMH students proudly begin building their future here, using their participation as a powerful first resume entry—and a meaningful stepping stone toward scholarships, new opportunities, and brighter futures.
 CWR helps to solve - the loss of identity and self esteem that youth seem to lose more of annually. Youth have shared that these lacks can lead to self- doubt, lower confidence, increased thoughts of suicide, confusion, depression, low grades, or a life of regrets. By design, narrating their projects helps with brain development through articulation by thinking more. Focus, self-control, camera-awareness and flexibility (known as 'executive function' and 'self-regulation' skills), are increased through this program. 

'Create with Ro' - PURPOSE - Families share the amazing benefits after creating their historical meal, craft, or other projects, which is a direct reflection of their culture. In measuring our success, youth have credited better grades to this program, after learning about their culture, background, showing their understanding of their history and uniqueness, and becoming familiar with their personal history (Maggie Wood, Season 1), encouraging their present life and future inspirations to be becoming a better person (Peyton Season 3), highly recommend this program to others, enjoyed learning and appreciating other cultures (Kofi Season 3), and want to participate in our other programs.
