ABOUT US
OUR STORY
A foundation Built on empowerment
Vertical Leap Learning Center wasn't created to check boxes or host programs for the sake of it. We exist to plant seeds - of hope, opportunity, and vision - and nurture them into a harvest that reaches generations.
​
We were born from the belief that purpose isn't reserved for the perfect. It's forged in the fires of real life - in single parent figuring it out, the teen breaking cycles, the older adult rediscovering dreams, and the individual who refuses to settle for survival.
​
This isn't just a program. It's a movement of seed planters, cycle breakers, and bridge builders - equipping the next generation while restoring the ones before them.
Faith, Leadership & Youth Development
Harry Gough’s foundation in youth development and leadership was shaped through faith-based training and mentorship. A graduate of the Hollingsworth BOSS Master’s Program and an ordained Youth Minister through Christian Business Ministries, Harry began his work under the guidance of Coach Al and Hattie Hollingsworth. Through this training, he developed a Christ-centered approach to leadership and went on to train hundreds of young people in biblical business principles, personal development, and purpose-driven leadership.
OUR MISSION
To ignite an empowerment movement that equips children, youth, and adults to reclaim their stories, unlock their potential, and build futures fueled by purpose.
To empower.
to equip. to elevate.

OUR MISSION
A brighter future for generations.
A world where scars aren’t hidden but honored — where children are taught early that they matter, their minds are powerful, and their futures are worth fighting for
