Leslie's Play Cousins Collective

Hi, my name is Leslie and I began my journey as the Lesson Coordinator for Play Cousins, and it has been an honor. The pride I take in crafting lessons and activities for our community fuels my purpose. Knowing these lessons are designed to inspire, uplift, and strengthen our children fills me with a sense of duty—to make each encounter powerful, meaningful, and memorable. Sharing and gaining knowledge is a gift I’m proud to pass on.

As I transitioned to the role of IYA Manager, my passion and dedication only deepened. Building relationships with each IYA has allowed me to truly appreciate their unique gifts. I take immense pride in supporting every team member, both professionally and personally. Fostering a space of trust and understanding makes all the difference. When our IYAs feel valued and supported, they can confidently tackle any situation in the community.

By supporting our Youth Enrichment Programs, you’re providing lifelong lessons, memories, relationships, and foundations that will last a lifetime. Each lesson includes hands-on crafts that children can take home, allowing them to reflect and grow. With the resources to create magic, we see our community’s children’s imaginations flourish. Offering them the chance to showcase their talents builds their confidence and strengthens their sense of identity and character.

Your generosity makes a difference. Together, we can continue to inspire and uplift the next generation. Thank you for believing in this mission and being part of something truly special. Let’s keep building brighter futures—together!
