Leadership
At Follow My Steps, our leadership team operates from a shared set of values: Collaboration, Accountability, Impact, and Resilience.
These principles guide how we serve youth, support one another, and make strategic decisions. Together, we’re not just building programs — we’re building a movement rooted in purpose, trust, and long-term impact.
