About This Cause
It is not unusual to hear some of the alarming statistics that highlight socio-economic challenges facing our youth and communities and their far-reaching impact. It is an indisputable fact that for the Black Community to grow, prosper and thrive, we must invest in education with an agenda that is deliberate and purposive. The Lifelong Leadership Institute recognizes that giving youth the opportunities to learn and practise the attributes of responsible leadership, in all areas of their life, increase their capacity and chance to succeed in their respective careers and lives. The Leadership by Design Program is the signature program of the Lifelong Leadership Institute. The program is essentially given to leadership development, primarily because, effective leadership is essential to the key determinant in the hiring and promotion process, to good citizenship and the social wellbeing of any community and country. The LBD program provides at least seven years of development support throughout their high school and university/college experience for over 100 students from the African-Canadian community. These students demonstrate extra-ordinary promise and potential. The LBD curriculum offers an ambitious program geared to providing our youth with opportunities for success in leadership, in their careers, and in community service. Each Saturday, students engage in structured sessions that focus on enhancing their wholistic development, including social and emotional well-being, inspiring their intellectual curiosity, and enhancing their talents and promoting academic success. While students are in their sessions, parents are also engaged in programming to support them nurture their children. The sessions are held in a university setting. A cadre of professional volunteers serving as consultants, mentors, facilitators, among other things, ably support the LBD program deliver their program.
