Mission

The Young People?s Leadership Foundation is a tax-exempt foundation formed in 1976 with the mission of helping young people who, despite facing difficult challenges in their young lives, have shown the willingness and perseverance to better themselves and to succeed in life. Some have had difficult childhoods due to parents with drug and or alcohol issues. Some have had to work from a very early age to help support their families. Others may simply have made poor choices as they struggled to find their way. But all of them have gone through difficult times and have straightened themselves out and fought their way onto the road to success. The Foundation works to support these courageous young people through its grants, programs, and partnerships.

Grants

The Foundation makes direct grants to assist young people in furthering their formal education. The exceptional young people the Foundation supports simply do not have the funds to afford the expense of a college, university, or technical school. Often, they are already working to help support themselves and their families. Through its scholarship program, the Foundation works to reduce the financial barriers and to give young people a chance to develop their leadership potential aided by grants that will enable them to further their education.

Programs

The Foundation funds seminars each year to train and inspire young people to become leaders. These seminars usually take the form of retreats, which are held at facilities donated by industry. The gifted youth participating in these seminars attend lectures presented by leaders from various fields, and have the opportunity to talk informally with these leaders during the retreat. By placing outstanding adult leaders in direct contact with outstanding students, the Foundation hopes the young participants gain insights into the makings of a leaders and the inspiration to become outstanding leaders themselves.

Partnerships

The Foundation has also sought to fulfill its mission by supporting other charitable institutions that have similar goals related to furthering opportunities for disadvantaged youth. It has supported a library and an activity park in a disadvantaged area as well as a country camp for inner city youth. Such partnerships have not only provided a way to greatly expand the number of individuals the Foundation supports, but have also provided helped provide the Foundation with additional pools of applications for individual educational grants.
