The vision of
Grooming Future World Leaders™ (GFWL) began to take
shape in 1995 after participating in and observing other mentor type
programs that were established with the purpose of assisting youth
increase their grade point averages.
Many similar
programs gained in popularity during this time and these programs,
designed to help both male and female were on an average good to
some extent. Yet programs designed to enhance youth/young adults to
become global in their thinking and planning did not seem to be
visible:
- What happens when the
mentor's bandwidth becomes too full which ultimately impacts the
mentor's ability to continue participation?
- How much exposure to
careers other than what the mentor evangelizes for the
youth/young adult does they gain exposure to?
- What are the long term
objectives to have the participants remain in the
program?
- What happens when the
youth/young adults graduate from high school?
- What exposure does the
youth/young adult have as it relates to global thinking if the
mentor is not global minded?
- Were any of the
youth/young adult habits improved upon?
- Are the youth/young
adults able to identify their true talents and skills well enough
to attempt to discover their purpose?
These are some of the
questions that go unanswered. In addition, single and foster
parents, and orphanage care takers mention additional challenges for
both their youth and themselves. Namely frustration with the
overwhelming parental challenges such as work/life balance, school
meetings, events requires a fair amount of discipline to be
victorious. Similarly, youth growing up in these environments may be
frustrated because they lack support in the areas of homework,
financial, career guidance and a host of other concerns.
Experiencing hectic home
and work life in addition to an ever continuously changing world
with its technological, economic and political changes, those
working within the education systems are sometimes:
- unprepared to coach
students of diverse cultures/backgrounds
- lack the adequate
class time t tutor students who are failing
- experience constantly
changing school environments, and
- observe hopeless
attitudes of many students
Consequently, the
collision of these issues can cause many students to get left
behind.
That's were we're here to
help. Grooming Future World Leaders™
is staffed and advised by youth and adults who have
experienced environments similar to the youth that we target. Our
unique ability to identify with youth/young adult concerns and
special needs along with value rich programs can assist to help our
youth/young adults cope with their environments as well as emerge as
victorious leaders in an ever changing world.
