Welcome to the Lot Initiative!
The L.O.T. Initiative© focuses upon three specific program initiatives which form the basis of our activities and successful outcomes. These programmatic initiatives are Family, Education and Community.
It's our belief that if these pillars are targeted effectively, many social, and family challenges can be reduced or eliminated entirely. The Family component strategically focuses on maintaining and cultivating a healthy family unit through training and mentoring.
The Education component focuses on training and equipping the next generation of society’s leaders with specific skill sets to compete in the changing landscapes of business, interpersonal relationships, and community involvement.
Finally, our Community component focuses on increasing participant's capacities for social awareness and altruism through their involvement in community service, activities that require self-awareness in relation to others, and peer-to-peer involvement.

Community Testimonials
The motivational presentation you gave to the youth at the Cuyahoga Hills Juvenile Correctional Facility was excellent! We sincerely appreciated your sharing with the youth and encouraging them not to give up as they accomplish their destiny and purpose for their lives.
“The work that Dr. Carthen is doing through the Leaders of Tomorrow Initiative (LOT) is vital to the preparation and introduction of the next generation of leaders into our society. The mentoring and practical training serves to empower and give courage to young leaders to prepare, step forward and provide leadership in their communities, schools, homes.
The scholarships that Jason provides has changed the lives of some of our students! If you could find it in your heart to give, especially to The Leaders of Tomorrow Initiative it would clearly make a difference in the lives of students and you would also feel better as a result of giving.
