At R.O.T.O. Nation, founders Lamar and Serenitie are more than leaders — we are products of the very communities we serve. Having grown up in poverty, we understand firsthand the challenges, pressures, and obstacles today’s youth face. These shared experiences fuel our passion to help young people rise above their circumstances, because we believe your situation doesn’t have to define your future — it can awaken your purpose. Our mission is to guide and empower youth to become the best version of themselves, no matter where they start. As Lamar Newby believes, we are revolutionizing opportunities for the youth, because “without the youth today, there’s no tomorrow.”
