Our current society promotes endless educational opportunity, encourages individuals to progress forward and to reach for their dreams. In this society, that mark is often missed and the development plan to obtain these desired goals are lacking direction
Providing a platform where children can learn and develop leadership skills. Creating the opportunity to become a presenter of those skills is very necessary
Being an effective leader starts with self and being an effective leader requires that you help others to lead
Opportunity does not come without responsibility; natural ability does not exist without discipline and achievement is not obtained without effort

The method that will be utilized for this program is “Action Learning”. Action Learning is a process whereby participants work and learn simultaneously by tackling real issues with real consequences
These actions will be implemented at the various levels identified:
Foundational Level – Assess and prepare the youth for enhancement and growth in an instructive environment
Learning Level – Elevate the youth by utilizing the lessons learned at the foundational level to expand their innate knowledge base and enhance their newly learned skills
Mentorship Level – Encourage, promote and support the youth to utilize the lessons they have learned in the first and second level to provide mentorship / leadership to another individual
Resources
Appropriate resources are required in order to establish a learning that will promote both encouragement and growth
The resources will be utilized to create an educational and motivational curriculum and provide the participants with exceptional learning and life long lessons
These resources will include:
Teaching of lessons that align with cognitive level learning
Teaching of Followership skills

These individuals will be able to take these skills, apply them to multiple concepts, evaluate how they will maneuver through the issue, be able to execute resolution tactics and collaborate or lead others in order to provide the same result
These actions will provide the intended outcome of:
Providing leadership lessons that can be developed and enhanced over a student’s formative years
Teaching a student how to constructively evaluate an issue and implement resolution
Creating a platform where that individual will develop another student with the skills that they have learned and developed
