League of Creative Minds

Description

The endeavors of the League thus far, have led to the creation of a social-educational nonprofit, League of Creative Minds, aimed at enhancing early leadership development for youth nationwide. The League is pioneering a multi-sector approach to academic development that uses the concept of diplomacy as a decision-making tool rather than an end goal. Current projects involve creating an inclusive international delegation and inviting high-achieving students from low-income communities within the Greater Bay Area; NGO capacity building related to youth entrepreneurship; public health awareness organized by youth nationwide to work in collaboration and for youth in Africa; urban health and food system awareness for youth; and international and governmental organizational knowledge in the United Nations with a focus on UN Reform by young generations of today. The cross-sector nature of these future projects and the need for problem solving at the systemic level requires a mix of resources, educators, and ideas in order to make them a success. These ingredients are inherent in the League, and are items that we attempt to engage on a daily basis. The League itself requires leadership that will shepherd the vision and safeguard the values integral to its platform. Without a strong value proposition and thorough understanding of the League world viewpoint, the League model will risk blending into the landscape of typical lowered academic complacency and lose its core offering of facilitating social innovation through leadership and life skills via a challenging personal, academic and social experience.
