Youth Empowerment

Love Like Adam Foundation
The Love Like Adam Foundation turns loss into leadership by working to end hazing through education and awareness. Founded in memory of Adam Oakes, the organization trains students, educators, and law enforcement to recognize and prevent hazing, while awarding scholarships to young leaders who carry Adam’s spirit forward. Their mission is to make campuses safer—and to ensure that every student comes home.
