“The premier global male youth mentoring program designed to shape adolescents’ character and behavior to produce excellence.”
The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Future Leaders Initiative is a leadership development and mentoring program designed to enhance the personal and professional development of male youth.
The program will incorporate activities centered on four tenets:
The program will inspire personal and academic achievements by conducting hands-on activities that advance male youths’ interpersonal skills, enhance communication techniques, shape positive behaviors, motivate scholastic excellence, and expand personal growth.
Program activities will incorporate character-building initiatives that instill confidence, demand personal growth, and provide the necessary tools to shape male youths’ leadership abilities. Emphasis will be placed on becoming leaders in the family, community, and workplace.
Promote activities that teach male youth about serving others, developing, and giving back to the communities in which they live. Perform hands-on, visible community outreach activities.
Teach finance, entrepreneurship, and business concepts that will inspire individual and generational wealth.
Hundreds of chapters worldwide have the academic freedom to incorporate activities that fall under the four tenets described above. The Youth Mentoring programs allow Chapters and Districts the freedom to select the age groups of male youth participants. The intent is for the program to accommodate youth from adolescence to adulthood. The program will also inspire innovation and creativity to maximize participants’ personal growth. The Districts will host male youth conferences, while the IHQ will host an annual male youth conference and activities. Documenting and reporting activities are essential to the program’s success and sustainment.
