KIDPOWER LEADERSHIP

What exactly is KidPower Leadership? KidPower Leadership Training is a step by step process designed for those whose desire is to build an intentional, creative, and compassionate team of leaders headed on the same path and looking for extraordinary results. We believe it is essential to develop effective leaders at an early age by equipping them with the empathy and skill required to become positive contributing members of society. Everything we do at Kids Who Care starts with Leadership. Learn More Information on our 3 Day KidPower Institute. How did KidPower Leadership begin? KidPower Leadership was initially designed in 1996 by Executive Director Deborah Jung to create summer job opportunities in the Arts for teens. Six kids wrote the first KidPower Fund requests and participated in what has become an operating staple of the corporation. KidPower Leadership has grown from a summer leadership system to the core business model for the corporation. From our Board of Directors and full time staff, to our international student leaders, to the volunteers, everyone who leads at Kids Who Care participates in KidPower Training. The impact of this leadership style has created a company culture where all levels of leaders are respected and sit at the table of power together. Watch Deborah Jung Discuss KidPower Leadership

HOW KIDPOWER WORKS

KidPower is based on 3 Basic Powers! At the heart of the KidPower model are three basic powers Deborah Jung discovered children possess that we often lose as adults: Kids are tenacious! Kids expect the answer to be yes! Kids believe in the impossible! KidPower creates a journey for any child or teen to discover and ignite those powers, and when used by adults, allows each person to rediscover and embrace what they once knew. How KidPower Works KidPower Leadership Training provides a specific sequential design for leadership teams to share tribal stories, the corporate culture, to define power, set goals, and write an action plan. The plan is practiced and revisited consistently and at the end of any project, or corporate year, the full team evaluates their combined work and prepares for the future. In this way, the organization and its leadership grow project to project and year to year.

Unique Leadership The most unique aspect of the KidPower Leadership system is that it offers opportunities to learn new leadership skills and then put them into action. Students serving on the KidPower Leadership Team receive 40-75 hours of Leadership Training and 140-275 hours of hands on leadership experience serving as many as 400 kids throughout the summer.
