FOUNDER - ANDRENE WILLIAMS
The Ladydoves Self Enrichment Organization (LSEO), a non-profit, 501 ( c) (3) youth organization, located in Queens, New York, was founded in 2008 by Andrene Williams, the visionary leader, who saw a need in her community and set out to solve issues related to future generations needing help and guidance. When the Ladydoves Self Enrichment Organization (LSEO) was formed, leaders within the organization positioned themselves to be in the forefront and designed state-of-the-art programs that would provide positive outlets for youths within their communities and for their families.
We will cater to children ages 6 to young adults. Ladydoves Self Enrichment Organization will provide scholarships, individual and group tutoring, after-school and summer programs, financial assistance for children of low income families to attend summer camp, career advisement, job preparedness programs, forum for women and our mentoring program. Our mentoring program will be available in-house as well as in various areas like foster care, schools, other facilities that are in need of our services, and eventually our own facility as well.
The goal of our mentoring program is to empower and enrich the lives of our youths by providing mentors that will share their life experiences to increase a youth’s self-esteem and self-worth, as well as nourishing their ability to be productive and efficient - to reach their full potential.
Ladydoves Self Enrichment Organization (LSEO) works to enhance and improve the outcomes for many of our community youths who we deem as valuable through the services and programs that we offer. These youths represent our future generations. With the proper guidance, training, and development of leadership skills, it is our goal to pave the way for them and help them build a strong foundation in which to grow. Additionally, the LSEO, as a responsible organization, recognizes that in order to assist our community youths as an organization, it is our duty to protect their individual rights and guide them in making the right decisions which will in the long run make them responsible, productive, and independent adults.
