break down barriers
Our mission is to break down barriers and provide free, high-quality programs for youth and teens, ensuring that financial background is never a limitation. We believe in giving every young person the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their circumstances, and we are committed to fostering an environment where all youth can feel empowered, valued, and supported.
We aim to create opportunities for all
We aim to create a world where low-income youth and teens have the same opportunities as their peers, equipped with the tools, education, and support necessary to break the cycle of poverty. By offering free, accessible programs, we’re helping young people develop the skills they need to succeed in life, from leadership and social skills to academic and career readiness.
Our Journey
Our journey is spearheaded by our Founder and CEO, Louis Quinones, a beacon of resilience and inspiration. Having grown up in public housing in NYC, Louis transformed the mentorship and guidance he received into a powerful movement that seeks to uplift others. Under his leadership, Community Lifestyle has evolved as a nurturing ground where youth and teens find the encouragement, resources, and support they need to carve out successful, fulfilling futures
