Are there any sweeter words to hear than, “I couldn't have
done it without you?” At the end of
every campaign season and throughout the Hollywood awards season, we hear the
powerful and the famous say those words.
But it isn't just those who hear those words from the powerful and
famous who want to know they have made a difference. We all desire to know that the world is a
better place because we have lived, loved, laughed, and learned. So how, when we are neither powerful nor famous
can we make this happen? We at Entrusted
Legacy believe that the combined efforts of caring and sincere people across
the nation can make a difference. There
is the notion of six degrees of separation which postulates that all of us are
linked through a network of connections that emanate around each of us. Mathematically, it brings forward the idea
that we each know 200 people and that those 200 know 200 who know 200 and so
on. By the time you work through the
exponential effects of this thinking, every one of us, no matter where we live
and play, is connected. As we see the
world figuratively shrinking we can be even more convinced that this is the
truth.
Entrusted Legacy believes that we can make a difference by
developing positive role models and mentors for youth. This requires that we get ready to “run this
race”. While practice and application of
knowledge are key, having that knowledge to begin with is often the weakest
link. Please join us at Entrusted Legacy
and help us to help those who work with youth in informal learning sessions
each and every day. Entrusted Legacy and
our affiliate have the means and materials to support the development of role
models and mentors 24/7 through web-based staff development.
