What is emPower Future Leaders?

emPower Future Leaders is an application and web-based platform to connect and allow you to make a sustainable impact on disadvantaged and talented children and young adults’ lives. emPower Future Leaders allows you to donate your resources, whether monetarily or through your knowledge and expertise, to help children and young adults, also known as Future Leaders, around the world fulfill their full potential through charities who directly work with them. We believe that every resource can have an impact on a child’s or young adult’s life, and our goal is to provide a platform where these resources can be shared worldwide.

Besides financial donations, how can I give back?

emPower Future Leaders was created to allow individuals to leverage their experience and knowledge to support children and young adults in achieving their aspirations. For example, an individual can simply provide suggestions on helpful resources, such as books that will aid the achievement of aspirations. Additionally, an individual can or could provide resources regarding opportunities to develop job skills.

For example, a surgeon that is mentoring a child or young adult with healthcare ambitions may be able to suggest a shadowing program at the hospital they are working at. Additionally, a mentor can review the opportunities available in emPower Future Leaders’ Resource Center and suggest relevant opportunities to a child or young adult’s advocate.
