We are excited to show off all of the dedicated and generous souls who are committed to supporting LifeChangers in serving returning citizens.
We have a small but mighty team, working to further the mission of LifeChangers. We are excited about the explosive growth we are experiencing. This is just the beginning of teaching people how to STAY L.I.T. (LifeChangers In Training)!
Please meet our Volunteers, Interns, and Board Members:
Ericka Scott
Executive Director
Chairperson, Board of Directors
Ericka Scott is a mother and grandmother. She is passionate about helping the younger generation gain the knowledge and wisdom needed to take their place in society.
Unfortunately, parents are working harder to maintain the same standard of living, as just five years ago. Schools are stretched on resources and qualified staff. There is no place for at-risk teenagers to find the help needed.
Unfortunately, this leads too many to the streets and a life of crime.
The biggest problem is that it seems slice there is a price tag on the heads of our teens and young adults. It’s more beneficial, for some corporations, to keep people in their prisons, than in society. The “profit prisons” have too much influence on laws and how our youth are educated.
I am determined to take the grips of those “profit prisons” off of young adults. The programs, classes, and workshops that taught them valuable skills while incarcerated have been taken out of the prisons and jails. Why is that?
LifeChangers will do the best we can, to teach every workshop participant how to obtain and maintain gainful employment.
Volunteer With Us
Volunteer Program Director – L.I.T. Academy
Akeisha has worked in community outreach determined to make a difference by bridging gaps for close to two decades.
She has been an advocate for criminal justice reform and reentry programs in communities where juveniles and adults are most susceptible to spending their lives behind bars by giving them the necessary resources needed to help reduce recidivism.
Many of those resources included employment assistance, housing assistance, childcare, educational programming, etc.
Akeisha obtained her Master’s Degree in Organizational Management with a specialization in Leadership. Akeisha is a firm believer in the power of positive thinking and helping others succeed!
Akeisha has joined LifeChangers as a Volunteer Prgram Director over L.I.T. Academy. We believe her experience, passion, and skills will prove to be a good fit for the team fueling the charge that is already in motion.

Angela Scott
Admin Assistant, Volunteer
Now, semi-retired from the entertainment industry, Angela Scott can spend more time helping the less fortunate in a variety of ways.
Angela has a gift of giving – offering whatever resources are available to her, to help someone else’s situation be better.
It is the sense of community and each one, teach one, that magnetized Angela to LifeChangers, Inc.
Angela has supported the vision and mission of LifeChangers since its inception. She now has joined the mission as a volunteer.
Angela is currently working to grow the transitional housing program from a plan on paper, to a dream come true.
We are excited to welcome Angela as the newest Volunteer, passionately working to reduce the rate of incarceration and recidivism in the United States.
