The Name

The name “Leadout” comes from the Latin word educare, which means; “to lead out, to raise up, to praise sky high.” It was used in a nautical sense to capture the towing of a smaller boat by a larger one to set it out to sea. The image portrayed what we long to see happen with young people—negotiate the difficult waters together and send them out.
