Hunger Prevalence in NWA
“Pay attention to the hungry, both in this country and around the world. Pay attention to the people and responsibilities for world peace. We are our brother’s keeper.” George McGovern…
Connecting Communities
Through Servant Leadership
LeadforOne was birthed out of the realization that Northwest Arkansas is home to many people in need as well as many people who are willing and ready to meet needs. The problem lies in bridging the gap between these two communities in a way that unifies instead of separating. That’s where we come in. Our goal is to provide opportunities for you and your family to engage and relate to communities in need through service projects both locally and globally.
We lead through
service projects.
We believe that leadership starts with humility and the willingness to put others before yourself. We develop leaders through local and global service projects that facilitate understanding of what it means to be a servant-leader.
We engage our
local community.
We desire to see Northwest Arkansas strengthened by community involvement. Our local service opportunities allow community members to reach out and engage practically and relationally with their neighbors in need.
We build global
service partnerships.
We believe in the importance of global community. Our international trips focus on recognizing needs in different cultural contexts and serving in ways that are tailored to the communities we partner with year after year.
We’ve got stories.
So do they.
Leadforone began as a small dream and has developed into a big reality in the the past three years. Our initial goal was to impact the community locally, and that has happened. What we didn’t know is that we would expand globally to reach people all around the world. Here are a few ways this has happened.

The Call in Arkansas
Housing insecurity for children is a highly prevalent issue in Northwest Arkansas, but there are many ways to get involved and help those who need it most. If you’re not able to personally open your home to one of these children, you may still be able to support them through providing much needed funds and supplies, so that they can go on to live and learn as normally as possible.
People are starting to talk.
From junior high and high school students, to business professionals and CEO's, Lead for One is making an impact. See what people are saying.
“The Peru trip for me as a father, allowed me to see God move in my son’s life and come home from the trip with a deeper relationship with God. Also, my son and I were able to connect as a father and son on a spiritual level through nightly conversation after each day which was awesome for me!”
