About STLF.
Our mission statement is to reveal leadership through service, relationships, and action. We currently are partnered with Americorps, and STLF also meets the standards of the charity review council. Besides Americorps, Bemidji State University's STLF chapter has a chance to have their own partner. Donations to the Bemidji State University Pay It Forward tour will help the cost of the tour stay at $425. Donations of $1000 or more will be considered for our partners and will be featured on our shirt. Also, for people really interested in donating, not just to Bemidji but to all Pay It Forward tours, visit www.stlf.net.
Some information you didn't know is that STLF is entirely student-run. The four creators of STLF are currently under 25 years old, and besides these individuals - there are no people involved in STLF that aren't in college, high school, or middle school.
