Wellington, FL - le 5 janvier 2013 - JustWorld International est ravi d'annoncer le lancement de son programme de développement du leadership, qui débutera en janvier. Le programme se déroulera du 21 janvier au 4 mars 2013 et aidera les jeunes leaders à devenir des philanthropes éduqués. Les jeunes de notre génération sont l'avenir de la philanthropie dans la société. Le programme JustWorld Leadership Development leur fournira les compétences essentielles pour comprendre la mission et le travail d'un philanthrope, tout en formant la prochaine génération de leaders engagés dans la construction et le maintien d'un monde juste. En partenariat avec Private Tutoring Services, JustWorld a travaillé en tandem pour construire un programme expérimental qui non seulement cultivera le potentiel de leadership, mais fournira également une compréhension de base de la philanthropie au 21ème siècle. Organisé tous les lundis, du 21 janvier au 3 mars 2013, à la Palm Beach International Academy, située à Wellington, en Floride, les étudiants acquerront des connaissances auprès de professionnels du secteur grâce à une série exceptionnelle d'intervenants, d'évaluations en équipe, de brainstorming et d'outils multimédias. Chaque module est enseigné par un groupe d'orateurs soigneusement sélectionnés, composé de propriétaires d'entreprises du Fortune 500, d'anciens coureurs olympiques et de professionnels spécialisés très respectés, qui possèdent des connaissances et une expérience en rapport avec le thème de chaque module. Utilisant leurs propres expériences personnelles pour couvrir l'essentiel de ce cours, les conférenciers invités travailleront également avec les modérateurs de JustWorld pour créer un programme bien équilibré et bénéfique. "Je suis une grande fan de la mission de JustWorld et de sa capacité à relier le monde équestre à celui des personnes dans le besoin", a fait remarquer Carlene Ziegler, directrice d'Artisan Partners. "Apporter la prochaine génération de leaders philanthropiques est un complément fantastique à cette mission. J'ai toujours cherché à inculquer des valeurs philanthropiques à mes enfants et aux jeunes qui travaillent pour moi, et je suis ravie d'intervenir dans le cadre du programme de développement du leadership.
There will be essential key resources used throughout the seven-week course including, the JustWorld Fundraising Guide, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and the Hofstede Cultural Differences Model to explain key techniques, needs and relationships in class. As the pilot course, this is only the beginning to what the future can hold for the JustWorld Leadership Development Program. It is JustWorld's hope to see this program spread across the globe to continue to raise global awareness, leadership and fundraising in all corners and countries. The Leadership Development Program is designed to include two units of three modules each. During the first unit, students will have the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge from Executive Director of Private Tutoring Services JoAnn Weiner, Jan Solomon, of the Swiss Consulting Group, and JustWorld Facilitator Sam Ziegler. The first module will delve into the introduction and concept of philanthropy, its connection to the JustWorld mission, and what it means to be philanthropic. With the leadership of guest speakers professional rider Juan Andres Rodriguez-initiator of bringing JustWorld to Guatemala, business owner Tim Dutta, and Executive Director and Founder of Pivotal Directions Jeff Wenzler, during the second module, students will learn the basic needs of developing nations, how organizations such as JustWorld help fulfill basic needs, providing a brighter future through philanthropy, and the differences in cultural values. JustWorld Rider Ambassador Angela Covert and trainer from Canada, Titi Mills from Honduras, both of whom were part of the original six founding JustWorld Ambassadors, will wrap up the third module as the guest lecturers with an exploration of different JustWorld projects around the globe, as well as a discussion of the future involving vital goals and key issues with JustWorld and their mission to provide a brighter tomorrow for impoverished children. The second unit puts thoughts and teachings to action as JustWorld invites students to participate in Fundraising 101 and through the development of a fundraising plan. With the assistance of David Holmes of FISE Sport Direction (Italian Equestrian Federation), Co-owner of Santana Stables Jennifer Santana, Principle of Wellington Equestrian Partners Katherine Bellissimo and Artisan Partners Director Carlene Ziegler, unit two explores the teachings from the first three weeks with hands-on-experience. The final three modules will assess students' attitudes about raising money for philanthropic needs, how to use creativity, communications and 'critical thinking' in the realm of fundraising, planning a fundraiser, setting reasonable goals and objectives and building relationships through communication skills. The group of students will have two weeks to complete their fundraising project with a defined vision, mission, goals, objectives and tactics used to effectively accomplish their fundraising. The Leadership Development Program will meet for the final class on March 4, 2013, where JoAnn Weiner and Jan Solomon will act as guest speakers for the final module, wrapping up the seminar and reviewing the experiential learning. The JustWorld International Leadership Development Program is geared toward committed members of society, who look to take a leadership role and invest philanthropy throughout their lives. It is the think-child of Executive Director of Private Tutoring Services JoAnn Weiner, Jan Solomon of the Swiss Consulting Group, JustWorld Strategic Development Director Mei Mei Newsome, JustWorld Ambassador Coordinator Amber Warren, JustWorld Ambassador Caitlin Ziegler, JustWorld Advisory Committee member Mary Ann Simonds and JustWorld Founder and Executive Director, Jessica Newman.
