We are Leelanau County's only free after-school and summertime program for 6th through 12th graders.

Leelanau Investing For Teens (LIFT) is a nonprofit based in Leelanau County's four public school districts dedicated to empowering local youth through opportunity and mentorship. 

Our afterschool programming takes place Mondays through Fridays for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders at Suttons Bay, Glen Lake, Leland, and Northport Schools until 5:30 pm, and three days a week in the summer months. We partner with area high schools to support 9th through 12th graders throughout the school day and offer bimonthly weekend activities.

"LIFT has shown me to reach out to people when I am interested in something or have a question because it is likely that someone in our community is knowledgeable about it, or has the answer."
