YouMeWeNPO is raising funds to expand the L.E.A.D. Program in Nagareyama, giving foster children transformative support that builds learning skills that extend beyond the classroom into their communities. Through teamwork and the creation of original business ideas, kids develop real-world skills and see themselves as capable innovators. Program fee per child: 50,000. Help us support as many children as possible for the opportunity of a lifetime!
Many school environments overlook the fundamental skills essential to long-term success. This developmental gap leaves many children, particularly those who learn differently, disconnected and hesitant about their potential.
The Nagareyama L.E.A.D. program is a 13-week session that changes children's perspectives on learning and collaborating with others. The program's central focus is to give children the opportunity to speak, share ideas, and be heard in a safe, supportive environment. Children gain hands-on experience by reaching a milestone: delivering a final presentation on a business idea they created. This project enhances communication, critical thinking, and confidence in their potential.
The program promotes positive developmental growth by helping children build vital social-emotional skills, enabling them to see themselves as capable innovators. By providing a safe space to be heard and collaborate, the program lays a foundation for resilience, self-efficacy, and adaptive learning that benefits them well beyond the classroom, but into their careers and communities.
