Impact
ILITE is a family, and although some of our members have gone out into the world and are moving on with their lives they have not forgotten the things that they learned through participating in the program. Most return at some point, now as mentors, to teach the new members of the ILITE family what they learned and to inspire others the way they were inspired.
