Wisdom Foundation recently partnered with Funding Credit and Boys To Men Foundation to develop our Summer Youth Empowerment Program.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In the coming year, we are excited to expand our impact by:
🎓 Provide scholarships for families of promising young athletes, helping them participate in leagues, travel teams, and competitions.
🎉 Host pop-up events in middle and high schools to inspire and engage youth directly.
📈 Offer professional development clinics to support the well-rounded growth of athletes beyond the game.
💰 Launching financial literacy programs, including “Your Relationship with Money” seminars, to instill long-term stability and success.
🧠 Focus on mental wellness, with seminars on stress tolerance and assessments designed to uncover blind spots that could hinder an athlete’s journey, including addressing trauma and mental health.
Consider donating to support these programs.
