The Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) program is a high school mentoring program founded in September 1991 during the 13th Annual National Black MBA Association Conference and Exposition in New York City. This program, sponsored by Mar’s Incorporated, has helped to expand the overall number of minority leaders in corporate America by providing mentor/Leader relationships with business executives and high school students within the community.

The Leaders of Tomorrow program specifically targets high school students by providing seminars, networking, and social opportunities for high school students. The Columbus Chapter - Leaders of Tomorrow program is focused on supporting the overall mission of the national program while providing high school students with professional mentors throughout Central Ohio.

Currently the mentors are represented by several local companies such as: Bayer, Big Lots, Delphi, Nationwide, The State of Ohio, and many others. The Columbus Leaders of Tomorrow program meets every third Saturday of the month from 10:00 A.M.- 12:00 noon at the Columbus Urban League.
