Principal & Founder
L.K.Monroe is the Principal and Founder of Teamed Up for Good - A Social Purpose Corporation that provides strategies and resources to see communities, supported by their champions, flourish through deep investment in their children.Teamed Up for Good grows directly from Ms. Monroe’s deep passion for addressing the all too common conditions and persistently poor outcomes that exist in so many communities of color in poverty across our country. While these communities are often rich with tradition and possess considerable talent in their human resources – barriers such as a lack of access to basic needs like healthy food, safety, and educational attainment, as well as the debilitating effects of racism and economic deprivation have created what we know to be a serious and urgent need for change.
