Help Change a Life and Empower Others

Save to Favorites

Looking for a new community-based project to socially invest and help launch to help empower children, youth, parents, families, adults and senior citizens to work together in achieving their true potential?

Looking for a realistic "Tomorrowland" as depicted in the Disney movie "Tomorrowland" focusing on bringing together individuals from around the US to create a comprehensive facility that will provide personal, socioemotional, academic, interest/talent, career, service learning and educational developmental services and opportunities throughout the lifespan?

Strongly desiring to utilize your knowledge, skills, abilities, interests, talents, connections, and resources to make a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate?

Well, look no further.

The Community Learning Enhancement Institute (CLEI) Task Force, based in Pensacola, FL, is conducting a nationwide search and sending out this "invitation" to seek others who can "catch the vision" of what can be possible, if like-minded people can collaborate together in a place free from bureaucracy and other such hindrances to create the Community Learning Enhancement Institute, Inc. (CLEI).

The CLEI is designed to be a comprehensive multidisciplinary one-stop, full-service community-based facility promoting lifespan personal, socioemotional, academic, interest/talent, career, service learning, and educational developmental services and opportunities for eligible and qualifying children, parents/guardians, families, adults and senior citizens strongly desiring to achieve their true potential despite the environmental presence of societal ills (e.g. poverty, familial dysfunction, delinquency, illiteracy, gangs, etc.). CLEI will provide personalized prevention and intervention measures that cultivate proactive mindsets and productive citizenry. The full-scaled model will be comprised of networked systemic and synergistic components, such as:

• Administration, Organizational Management, Support Operations
• Comprehensive Training (Professional Development), Research, Product & Process Development, Program Evaluation, and Community Outreach Services
• Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Diagnostic Evaluations and Prescriptive Learning & Opportunity Resource Services
• Comprehensive Specific Learning Disabilities, AD/HD, High Functioning Autism, and Emotional Trauma Services
• Comprehensive Gifted and Talented Career Development Pipeline Programming Services and Opportunities
• Comprehensive At-Risk Prevention and Intervention Programming Services
• Comprehensive Senior Citizens Programming Services and Opportunities

We are looking to form and build the CLEI’s Human Empowerment and Learning Potential (HELP) Affinity Group (HELP-AG), in order to seek those among us who can "catch the vision" of what can be possible. Affinity Groups spark new collaborations, joint learning, and collective action, thereby sharpening the innovative edge we must develop as we tackle our community’s challenges. The HELP-AG subgroups will be comprised of seriously interested, like-minded, committed and available volunteers, business professionals, parents/guardians, media relations, criminal justice and law enforcement officials, social welfare and medical professionals, educators, philanthropists, etc., who are willing to provide us the necessary tools, talents, wisdom, expertise, materials/supplies, etc. necessary to build the CLEI one program component at a time.

The CLEI Task Force needs assistance with:

• Nonprofit business organizational management
• Startup operational processes
• Administrative organizational management
• A possible fiscal sponsorship with a professional and reputable organization that can assist with startup operational fiscal and administrative management, while waiting on nonprofit status approval
• Developing a capital campaign for operational management
• Securing real estate location(s)
• Human resources management formation and personnel recruitment
• And much more

We need people who are committed to our cause and will proactively help us with the developmental incubation of the startup phase in order to begin assisting those in need, including the following:

• A "voice"for the CLEI (e.g. a/an Oprah or Bill Gates personality) - someone who is recognizable, reputable by society and passionate about the human empowerment and learning potential development of at-risk children, youth, families, adults
• Social philanthropists, corporate sponsors, endorsers, organizational affiliates and supporters
• Nonprofit business managers
• Administrative organizational and human resource managers
• Fiscal sponsor - reputable and recognizable organization willing to assist with initial fiscal and administrative responsibilities
• Professional fundraising consultants/solicitors
• Realtors willing to assist with securing a building site for initial operations
• Real estate management
• Professionals (e.g. neuropsychologists, learning disability specialists, AD/HD specialists, occupational therapists, expressive arts therapists, speech/language therapists, etc.) with expertise, certifications and experience in specific learning disabilities, AD/HD, high functioning autism
• And more

If you would be able to and/or know of others who would be available and committed to assist us in the organizational startup process of the CLEI, please contact Dr. Jamison for more information via the email address provided. Please type "CLEI" in the subject line of your email.

Hope you will join us in this joint effort endeavor.
