About Wisdom Foundation
The Founder
Wisdom Foundation founder, Marvin Wilson, earned honors for his service during Desert Storm in 1991. Mr. Wilson later secured a secretarial position at the Pentagon in 1992, then later extended his service in the U.S. Navy for an additional two years. Post-military, he embraced a role at the U.S. Veterans Hospital in Salisbury, North Carolina.
Marvin's commitment goes beyond his professional roles. He volunteered as a Desert Storm spokesperson at Veterans Day Parades and Chaplain Services, driven by his passion for travel and volunteerism. His dedication even extends to educating young minds on the importance of leadership and volunteerism in their personal growth.
Current Activities
Wisdom Foundation is currently hosting seminars for inner-city youth with an emphasis on positive lifestyles, gang prevention, community service, leadership and higher education. We are also recruiting and training positive resilient professionals to mentor in schools, community centers and juvenile detention centers. We are involved in board training and grant writing classes.
Our Future
We plan to provide diversity education, creative thinking skills, community service opportunities, leadership training, gang prevention and drop-out prevention. We will have a cadre of one-on-one mentors for fatherless young men and juveniles. We will host on-going seminars, online webinars, and fundraisers to assist our youth. Our long range plan is to provide summer training camp for young males at risk in our city.
Programs & Events
Summer Youth Empowerment Program
Wisdom Foundation recently partnered with Funding Credit and Boys To Men Foundation to develop our Summer Youth Empowerment Program.
Hands-On Learning at Concord Mills Mall
In our latest program initiation, we had a few young men embarked on an exciting journey at Concord Mills Mall. Before diving into a real-world experience, they first participated in a brief but impactful financial literacy introduction course in a classroom setting. Recognizing the significance of financial literacy in navigating adulthood, The Wisdom Foundation ensures a holistic approach to empowerment.
Real-World Application
Armed with newfound financial knowledge, the group then ventured out to one of Funding Credits' Kiosk Stations within Concord Mills Mall. This hands-on experience was more than just an outing; it was an opportunity for them to apply their new knowledge, engage with the public, and share valuable information with those interested.
Engaging the Community
Our participants took center stage, confidently approaching visitors to share insights and share information. The experience was not just about conveying facts; it was a chance for these young leaders to connect with the community, fostering a sense of responsibility and communication skills that extend beyond the classroom.
Building Future Leaders
Wisdom Foundation’s Summer Youth Empowerment Program goes beyond traditional education models. It is about cultivating skills that will serve these young men in all aspects of their lives. Leadership and communication are tools that empower individuals to make a positive impact on the world around them.
