Rising Stars Developing personal leadership is a critical component in bringing today’s youth into society and the workforce as healthy, productive contributors. Rising Stars’ proven process instills these behaviors along with additional return on investment through prevention and reduction of risk behavior. It requires working with small group of youth to facilitate on both personal and professional issues for increased effectiveness. In many cases, attitudes will directly determine whether a young person turns a problem into an opportunity or succumbs to it; whether they behave in ways that benefit others or remain self-absorbed; whether they consciously expand the use of their potential or allow atrophy to set in; whether they diligently look for continuous growth and improvement opportunities or remain satisfied with the status quo. Interpersonal skills when combined with increased knowledge and goal setting behavior enhance the ability of youth to assess the impact of their existing and future success. The end result is that young people transition beyond the traditional approach to learning, and start applying knowledge therefore taking. The Rising Stars process contains all of these components along with innovative self-directed learning strategies by which young people take responsibility for their own personal improvement and constructivism. Through a developmental process, Rising Stars provides a firm foundation to prepare all young people for life-long learning, development, and achievement.
