“THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WITH LOVE, PASSION AND DEDICATION FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS”

www.mbhcc.org

For the past two years, UNIDAD of Miami Beach, Inc. has offered a unique and innovative youth development and leadership program aimed at providing inner city youth with the opportunity to reach higher, dream bigger, and work smarter while achieving life and career goals. The goal of the New Generation Leadership and Workforce Institute is to help prepare today’s youth to excel in tomorrow’s workforce and in their lives overall. Dramatic shifts in the labor and economic market are making the 21st Century one of the most challenging periods in American history for young workers. Many high school students are ending their educational years without mastering the critical thinking, teamwork, and problemsolving skills necessary to successfully compete at their highest potential in the workforce. In addition, future generations may lack knowledge of the basic principles of civic involvement and participation. The New Generation Leadership and Workforce Institute enhances academic and career training by using current and future labor market information to create a roadmap of short and long term goals that aligns with participants’ abilities and interests. The program is funded by the South Florida Workforce Investment Board with support from the City of Miami Beach. The program offers a continuum of academic and career development opportunities and culminates in participation in intensive summer programming at two levels for selected youth. Level I and Level II programming provide more advanced leadership, workforce and career development activities including

internships, work experience, leadership training, citizen involvement learning, development of debating skills and pregnancy prevention activities. The curriculum is taught by internationally acclaimed professional speakers and trainers and is designed to inspire and motivate youth to reach beyond their own expectations. This year, enrollment was so successful that a waiting list had to be developed. Of the 166 participants registered, 53 were chosen for Level I of the Institute after an exhaustive selection process with trainers and counselors. These youth completed seven weeks of intensive workshops and training, demonstrating their commitment to the development of leadership skills and to their futures. While many high school students spent their summer at the beach, our graduates were hard at work developing skills and achieving goals. In 2007, 25 of those exhibiting the greatest leadership potential will participate in Level II of the Institute. Today we celebrate the graduation of the 53 exceptional youth who have completed Level I of the New Generation Leadership and Workforce Institute. Join us in recognizing their achievements! During 2006-2007 we anticipate that 243 youth will participate in the program. Visit our website for program updates through the year: www.mbhcc.org. If you have suggestions for volunteer speakers, field trip experiences, funding sources, sponsors or other program resources, please contact: Ms. Margarita Cepeda-Leonardo at mcepeda@mbhcc.org.
