The American Dream has long been a symbol of achieving
success. For far too many Minnesotans, the path to this dream
is impeded due to systematic barriers. At LeadMN we break
down those barriers by empowering two-year college students
to become strong leaders, engaged community members, and
successful professionals. We are rebuilding a pathway for
students to achieve their American Dream.
