Jack Church talks with Janice Lucas, Executive Director for LEAD Coalition in Panama City. LEAD stands for Leadership, Empowerment, Authentic and Development which are the core values LEAD brings to a community to help change the cycle of poverty. The US Census reports that approximately 21 percent of Panama City’s 36,900 residents live below the poverty line. Since 2014, the LEAD Coalition has worked in Bay County’s under served neighborhoods to bring programs to ease the burdens caused by poverty that might lead youth down dangerous paths.
