Jason Thompson shares his personal story about the importance of education and mentorship, and how it inspired him to create the Legacy Forward Foundation.
Our Programs
Legacy Forward Mentor Round Table
We're bringing together all the resources available to our youth—from teachers and school admin to government officials and other nonprofit groups. From Ogden to Smithfield, we host quarterly gatherings designed to get today’s leaders on the same page, ensuring our future leaders have the coordinated support they deserve.
Did you show up to learn this past year? The Legacy Forward Foundation offers ten $1,000 scholarships per year to reward individuals who took the pledge and showed up for class with minimal unexcused absences and a displayed a hunger for learning. We're investing in the future of individuals who are serious about showing up to learn.

We believe the right book at the right time can change everything. Every other month, we bring nationally recognized authors to northern Utah to speak directly to the young people in our reading club.
Take the Pledge
Don’t be absent from your own learning – take the Legacy Forward Lifelong Learner Pledge
Our mission is to support lifelong learning by fighting the chronic absenteeism in school that leads to stagnation later in life.
