Student Leadership Program
Special Opportunity for Corporate Sponsorship!
Here at Madison Adoption Associates, we pride ourselves on staying true to our mission to help children globally and within our own communities. With our mission at the heart of all we do, we are thrilled to embark on a new adventure of empowering our community youth to be the next generation of global leaders who will change our world for the better!
We are working diligently to launch a High School Leadership Program for youth entering 9th - 11th grade. The purpose of the program is to provide a certified national youth leadership training program designed to help shape the next generation of empathetic leaders through a 30-hour curriculum culminating in a service learning project.
BUT, we can’t invest in our youth without your help!
We are seeking corporate sponsors for this life altering program, so we are reaching out to you, our MAA families and friends, who are connected with the corporate arena. We would love to hear about companies who share our mission, that provide grants for youth, or would be willing to partner with MAA to sponsor this program. Please contact Diana Bramble at MAA (Diana@MadisonAdoption.org) with any possibilities to assist in this endeavor.
We will also be starting to contact schools in our home states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Illinois to help us with student recruitment for the program. Please let us know if are associated with a school in these states so that we can connect many schools with this incredible opportunity for their students!
