Overview
We envision a world where all people act and feel as part of one human family nurtured by ethical leaders. Families Without Borders (familieswithoutborders.org) is a non profit organization focused on the empowerment of young future leaders. We do this through providing a full college scholarship, complemented by an ongoing leadership development program with an emphasis on community service and ethics to promote economic sustainability within communities. The program includes: entrepreneurship, advanced computer skills, communication skills and financial management. Capacities built by each student includes: • Designs and implements their own community service project • Initiates and manages a micro-business • Maintains academic excellence • Demonstrates the highest ethical standard in all their activities • Agrees to sponsor the next generation of FWB students internalizing our belief in building communities from within.
