JR Executives works to improve educational opportunity for students through scholarships, academic achievement initiatives, mentoring opportunities and youth leadership development.
Our goal is to equip our youth for competition with the best and the brightest in the nation and the world. It is also to close the persistent achievement gap that continues to separate African-American and Latino students from Asian and white students.
Each section is led by an experienced JR Executive Leadership staff member or community leader. Two days a month (minimum) will be devoted to each component of the program.
Students will learn about leadership as a set of skills and behaviors that influence followers. Leadership should be viewed not as a position, but as a learned activity that can be used by anyone regardless of their position. In helping the students to develop an ability to positively influence others, we will focus on political influence by using the media and a variety of other techniques. The week begins with an orientation September 5, 2009. As the week concludes, Saturday, June 19, 2010, students will synthesize their disparate insights and knowledge, receive their graduation awards, and celebrate with new friends.
When the JR Executives 2009 – 2010 program experience concludes, students will take home a new understanding of how they can lead others in a variety of settings and through a number of different ranging from the purely personal to the use of contemporary mass teamwork.
