Mission Statement
The In a Perfect World Foundation seeks to inspire and empower children to become compassionate, socially-conscious and responsible leaders.
Description
We achieve our mission by:
Providing children the opportunities to express themselves artistically about their needs, dreams, and issues that impact their lives;
Supporting existing community-based organizations that implement innovative approaches and programs designed to (a) address these needs and issues, and (b) develop the type leadership in children consistent with our mission;
Bringing together community, corporate, and thought leaders, educators, and researchers to heighten the awareness of children's views and seek their support to provide sustainable solutions to achieve this mission; and
Recognizing extraordinary youth leaders for their outstanding and significant contribution to positive change in their community.
We believe that when we give children the platform and experience to allow their dreams, ideas, and thoughts to be heard and shared, their innate desire for 'a perfect world' can and will lead to breakthrough measures that could significantly change the outlook of the future!
