ABOUT US

Learners to Leaders™ is a national educational alliance funded by the Smithfield-Luter Foundation and made up of Smithfield Foods' independent operating companies and local educational partners. The alliance's goal is to help reinforce what the organizers believe is the most critical part of any community's foundation, the education of its residents.

By providing support services to educational institutions and communities through our local programs, we promote the importance of education and its role in cultivating the skills necessary for individuals to become productive, caring and responsible citizens.

The first Learners to Leaders program was launched in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in time for the 2007-08 school year. Similar programs can be found in Iowa and North Carolina, with additional partnerships to follow in communities across the nation and in Europe.
