McGuffey Inter-Generational Gardens

M.I.G began as a Community beautification project in 2015, within the North Linden Area.  Our strategic goal has been too maintain the lots for cleanliness and use the land to teach Urban Gardening.  Our plots fall within an area of the City for which the USDA would classify as a Food Desert Zone.  Given this reality leaders within LUF are focused on raising awareness about food sustainability and healthy options for families in the Community.  Our Impact has been great but we have a lot more work to do.  Join us in the Garden at 2510 McGuffey Rd. Columbus OH 43219!

TCI Cares is a gym initiative, backed by Legacies United Foundation in support of the Athletes at The Cheer Institute.  Through this initiative we encourage continued physical activity and overall wellness for youth and adults alike. Staying active and engaged in sports and or leisure activities has proven to cultivate healthy relationships and personal development.  This is due to the rich sharing of knowledge, skills and abilities of the participants.  Our initiative additionally provides support to our participants in the realm of mental health.  TCI cares is concerned with helping participants find their strengths on and off the playing field.

InVers Norm Mentoring

Our Inverse Norm program is inspired by its statistical expression; which refers to the method of using a known probability to find corresponding and or opposing values.  For example using the probability of success our task would be too determine the correlation between a successful person or community vs. that which is stagnant.  The goal of the statistical property is to examine the deviations from "norm".

​

Our 9-week In-Verse Norm program is a call to action, a gathering of the minds to create opportunities to affect change.  Participants are immersed in an Inter-generational environment to asses their personal growth and development, participate in workshops as well as joint social justice project.  Ages 12-16 and 21+ welcomed to join.  Click the button below to get started.

Legacy Research

Today we live in one of the most vibrant complex societies due in part to the growth of technology, arts and culture.  The impact of this stimuli on our relationships and engagement within our communities has been widespread.  This current reality is driving our Legacy Research Initiative.  We hope to uncover facts, and trends into how we may best connect, support and promote various generational cohorts.

​

With any research a systematic investigation is essential in order to reach new conclusions.  The results of our research is available to the public and focuses on aging and senior services as well as youth engagement to name a few.  We hope our work leads to intergenerational  public policies, private philanthropy and corporate advancement.  If you are interested in research join our Team!!!!  Were In this Together!
