I AM FOUNDATION

This year our annual fundraiser is for the I AM Foundation.
 
The I AM Foundation began with the need to lead, encourage and motivate at-risk youth and students in underserved communities to see themselves greater than their circumstances. The I AM Leadership Institute teaches at risk youth skills to help them rise above their circumstances. They are taught about money management, the value of real estate, how to assess and overcome obstacles they encounter and so much more. The Foundation strives to teach these students transferable skills related to real world experiences. (Learn more at: https://theiamfoundation.org/)
 
We had the privilege of hearing the founder of I AM Foundation, Elijah Dormeus, speak at our Summer Social. He had to overcome so many hurdles growing up. He faced the struggles of poverty and racism, growing up in circumstances that were far less than ideal. And he didn’t just talk about overcoming his own challenges. He paid homage to the people in his life that helped him succeed. It was a powerful message. He truly believes in not only finding your own inner courage and sense of worth, but when you find it, using it to lift others up with you. Elijah’s passion and enthusiasm are infectious and we are excited to be raising funds to help such a worthy cause.
 
We will be collecting donations through our Winter Social including at our Fall Seminar being held on Nov. 1. If you haven't signed up, please make sure you check out our amazing line up of speakers for that event. (https://www.heartlandparalegalassociation.org/events.html#!event-list)
