Rising Stars Youth Development Program

Rising Stars is a results based program that develops character, confidence & values that prepare young people for SUCCESS!

Research shows a majority of American youth engages in health-compromising behavior and concludes that half of all ten to seventeen year olds are at high or moderate risk of undermining their chances for a healthy life because of substance abuse, unsafe sex, teen pregnancy, school failure and delinquency, and crime or violence. In addition, a recent research report, Workforce 2020: Work & Workers in the 21st Century , found that employers grouped leadership as one of the essential skills entry-level workers lacked. This group of skills included strong work ethic, problem solving, and creativity, along with organizational and interpersonal skills. Educators, parents, government officials and business people have all realized the importance of helping our youth develop their personal leadership skills.

Empowered youth grow up feeling confident with themselves and with their ability to achieve goals. Everest Associates provides a proven, inside-out approach to leadership development that empowers youth to realize their potential. America's Rising Stars was designed to help today's youth develop character, confidence, and values that promote healthy behavior and prepare them to succeed as adults.
