Fred Swaniker | The Young Leader

At The Young Leader, we’re inspired by individuals who leave a positive mark on our world- and teach us all a lesson in the process.

Few men have taught us as much as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Today, we honor the messages of King’s legacy.

To dare to dream, regardless of obstacles.

To relentlessly pursue equality for all, no matter how impossible this may seem.

To drive away hate with love.

And, of course, countless others.

For an amazing and reflective read today, check out a recent article written by Dr. Gary May, Professor of History at the University of Delaware, which celebrates the humanity and sometimes-forgotten struggle of Dr. King’s amazing life.

I really liked this video that captures the spirit of entrepreneurship. In fact, this captures the very reason I believe in Global Leadership Adventures — the message of entrepreneurship empowers young people to know they can change the world. Whether its in business, or more related to the mission of GLA, as social entrepreneurs creating innovative solutions to global issues – never forget that your vision is acheivable.

In fact, on all of our programs we try to expose students to cutting edge social entrepreneurs. Whether its an organization in Brazil that teaches street kids hip hop dance or a rural women’s microfinance group in India – our students see first hand grassroots leaders innovating to address social issues.

Watch this great video for a dose of inspiration:

Honoring: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
