If You Give a Man a Fish, You Feed Him for a Day. If You Teach a Man To Fish, You Feed Him for a Lifetime!
This Proverb is one of the key foundations of the LegacyCreators Roadmap to Success. The patience of Delayed Gratification is highly preferred over the impatience of Instant Gratification. For students whose daily exposure is a family living paycheck to paycheck supplemented with public subsidies for both food and shelter, the idea of graduating from high school, learning a skill or trade from a vocational school/community college that pays a livable wage or earning a college degree over a four year time span is unimaginable.
LegacyCreators is convinced that with the commitment of students, their families and the community in which they reside, a fundamental transformation and paradigm shift can occur for socio-economically challenged students attending Title I Schools. LegacyCreators believes its students armed with a Roadmap to Success can successfully compete in the future against their peers from affluent families that attend high performing high schools.

Horace Allen, Founder and CEO, and Alex Bell, Board Chair, attended two of the most prestigious private undergraduate and graduate institutions in the U.S. despite the fact they were raised in the housing projects of New York. They have a real life understanding of what it means to be committed to success while enduring the struggle. Horace Allen and Alex Bell are not the typical private school alumni who were born on third base and somehow believe they hit a triple. As a life long entrepreneur, Horace Allen knows what it means to be cash rich and cash poor in the same year. Alex Bell knows what it means be signed by the New York Giants with fanfare and glory only to be cut by that same NFL franchise without any pomp or circumstance. Horace Allen and Alex Bell have have walked in the shoes of the students in which they serve. Alex Bell is an ALUMNI of LegacyCreators and a living embodiment of the organization's ability to produce systemic successful outcomes for students from the most challenging socio-economic and academic circumstances in the U.S.
