When society uses the term “at-risk” to describe a student,
it’s usually code for describing their environment: high
rates of poverty (low-income), crime, drugs, blight and other
disparities that classify their communities as underserved
and underrepresented. However, when students that live in
these communities hear the word “at-risk”, they are most
times oblivious that the term applies to them.
The Power of Perception Speaker Series is a
communication tool designed to help at-risk students
understand the challenges that are stacked against them –
starting with a shockingly honest discussion about how
“society” perceives them. Witness the immediate
empowerment and transformation of these students as
they tap into their passions and define their life’s purpose.
The final result comes in a written mission statement – in
their own handwriting – that helps them develop a plan with
laser-like focus on how they will pursue their careers and
accomplish their educational goals and entrepreneurial
ventures.

PART I:
DEFINING YOUR PASSION, PURPOSE & MISSION
DEFINING YOUR PASSION, PURPOSE & MISSION
The Community Involvement Growth Strategy (C.I.G.S.)
social entrepreneur program takes each student’s mission
statement and applies it, in real time, to real world situations
and environmental issues. With applications of science,
technology, engineering, mathematics (S.T.E.M.) and urban
agriculture, we teach students how to analyze and use the
resources available to them “in their own backyards” –
equipping them with the tools they need to engage in
economic and community development activities that directly
and positively impact their neighborhoods.
