About Us
Founded by Young Leaders. Inspired by Humanity. Built for the Future.
LeoBella Foundation was founded in 2025 by siblings Leo Mokhtari, 20, and Bella Mokhtari, 19 two young humanitarians who believe that giving back is not simply an act of kindness, but a responsibility to humanity.
Our Story
A Journey of Service That Started in Childhood
Their journey of service began at the ages of five and six. From spending their Thanksgivings helping underserved communities through the Midnight Mission in Los Angeles, to witnessing their mother's humanitarian work in countries affected by poverty, conflict, and crisis Leo and Bella were raised with compassion, resilience, and a deep understanding of the importance of helping others.
But their commitment is also deeply personal. Having experienced grief, the loss of loved ones and beloved pets, financial pressures, and the emotional challenges that affect families, they understand that mental health is not a weakness to overcome, but an essential part of building a stronger future.
They have witnessed firsthand how emotional struggles can affect even the strongest individuals including their own mother, whose years of humanitarian service shaped their understanding of sacrifice, purpose, and resilience.
Our Vision
Investing in the Leaders of Tomorrow
These experiences inspired them to establish LeoBella Foundation a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the next generation through mental wellness, leadership development, mentorship, innovation, entrepreneurship, and global citizenship.
They believe that if we want to create a better world, we must first invest in the emotional well-being and potential of the young people who will lead it.
Through immersive leadership journeys, youth leadership summits, global leadership experiences, and meaningful connections in nature, LeoBella Foundation creates spaces where young people can step away from the noise of everyday life, speak openly, build confidence, discover their purpose, and connect with mentors and peers who understand their challenges.
Leo and Bella believe that the future does not begin tomorrow. It begins with how we support our youth today.
