Transcend 214™, a program by the Rod Lemon Foundation pictures a world where every veteran, who has selflessly served their nation, has a community in which their physical, emotional, and social needs are met with compassion, dignity, and respect. We aspire to create a future where the sacrifice and dedication of veterans are honored not only in words but through actions. In this vision, we see a society that stands as a true partner for our veterans, committed to providing them with the security, support, and opportunities that they rightfully deserve. Together, we can build a world where no veteran is left behind, and every hero finds solace, stability, and a brighter tomorrow.
At the Rod Lemon Foundation (RLF), the focus is on the intellectual and social aptitude of community members. RLF’s programs are designed to help participants develop the skills needed to make responsible and positive life choices, successfully transition through various stages of their lives, and contribute to the community’s overall stability and economic development. RLF offers financial literacy programs that educate community members on managing finances effectively, budgeting, saving, and investing. By equipping participants with financial knowledge, RLF aims to foster economic stability and empower individuals to make informed financial decisions.
Additionally, RLF’s homebuyer workshops provide valuable information on the home-buying process, including understanding mortgages, navigating real estate markets, and making sound investment choices. By supporting community members in becoming homeowners, RLF contributes to the long-term economic development and stability of the community.
Overall, RLF’s enrichment programs ensure that participants have the necessary skills and opportunities to continue learning and growing, both personally and professionally, as they apply their new skills in
various aspects of their lives.
Rod Lemon Foundation offers educational scholarships to young adults who excel in academic. These students face various challenges related to socioeconomic status, family structure, and other factors that increase the likelihood of not being able to afford college. Recognizing these risk factors helps to support these students and improve their chances of completing their education.
Rod Lemon Foundation is currently offering scholarships in the following categories: current college students with a major in business or nursing, current college students of a HBCU who is either active military or a military dependent, or high school graduates/equivalent earners who have been accepted into a post-secondary program with a system-impacted parent. Please see scholarship applications for additional requirements.
Since the beginning of the Program, Rod Lemon Foundation has awarded over $15,000 in Educational Scholarships to deserving students in various degree fields and institutions of higher learning.
Rod Lemon Foundation believes that the key to every successful community starts with Parental Engagement in the lives of their kids. Each year, the Rod Lemon Foundation organizes several community enrichment activities with the objective of bringing families together to build and enrich the community’s bond. At the end of these programs families are encouraged and provided with resources that cater towards emotional development, making good choices, school success, improved health and healthcare, and positive plans and skills for the future.
