L-FORCE

Legacy. Leadership. Civic Action.

Launched as a legacy program in honor of Lawrence Wilbon—a beloved advocate and foundational leader within our organization—L-FORCE is more than a program. It’s a movement. A call to serve. A mission to lead. Rooted in compassion, purpose, and community strength, L-FORCE carries forward the very values Lawrence embodied every day.

What is L-FORCE?

L-FORCE is the civic engagement arm of our Gentle Warriors Academy, designed to prepare individuals to lead at the grassroots level. Whether it’s mentoring a young person, organizing voter registration drives, coaching youth athletics, or volunteering for neigh borhood improvement efforts — L-FORCE equips participants with the skills and confidence to lead with integrity and impact.

Our Focus

We are not a traditional mentoring organization. We are a leadership pipeline—training and launching everyday people into extraordinary service for their communities.

Who Can Join?

L-FORCE is ONLY open to individuals who are Gentle Warrior Academy graduates — no prior experience needed.

All you need is a willingness to learn, show up, and lead.
