Helping People Find What's Missing
Finding What's Missing Foundation empowers youth and young adults to strengthen decision-making skills, build personal accountability, and reduce high-risk behaviors through mentorship, leadership development, life skills education, and guided self-reflection.
We meet young people where they are — and help them recognize the value, choices, and tools already within reach.
Our Purpose
To empower youth and young adults through mentorship, leadership development, life skills education, and self-reflection that promotes personal accountability, positive decision-making, and lasting transformation.
To create communities where every individual has the support, guidance, and tools needed to recognize their value, make positive choices, and achieve long-term success.
How We Help
Eight pieces that fit together to support youth & young adult development.
Founder
Author • Mentor • Entrepreneur • Certified Peer Recovery Specialist
Marco Lomax founded Finding What's Missing Foundation to help individuals recognize their potential, make better decisions, and create lasting change in their lives.
After serving 14 years of incarceration following a wrongful conviction, Marco transformed his experience into a mission of mentorship and positive change. Through his Finding What's Missing series, the Foundation, and youth programs like "Man Up," he uses his own story as living proof that change and redemption are possible.
Today, drawing from his journey of growth and accountability, Marco is committed to providing the mentorship, guidance, and practical tools that empower others to overcome adversity and move forward with purpose.
