It is apparent that now is the most important time in history to give YOU a chance to stand up and be counted for, as you step in as stewards of this planet. YOUR VOICE ... YOUR CHOICE!!

It is our responsibility as parents, teachers, and global leaders, to help re-structure and re-create the mess that we’ve left you with regard to the environment, gender and racial injustices, war and more.

After the winners are announced on April 22nd 2009, we will enter into a 4 month online classroom curriculum where you will have the chance to get to know one another through the online community, as well as be mentored by some of the most forward-thinking experts on the planet in the 5 AREAS OF INTEREST: Economic Development, Environment, Literacy, Social Change, and Creative Expression. 

At the beginning of each month, we will have a general session with a world leader that will be open to the young leaders council and the young leaders network. This will give an opportunity for you to interact on a global scale on matters that mean the most to you.

Each video conference, for every week thereafter, will include curriculum given to the Young Leaders in the specific 5 categories. For example, Sebastain Copeland (expert photographer/environmental activist) will speak directly to the young leaders in the category of Environment.

The four month sessions will end just prior to the Young Leaders Global Summit.
