"Mr. English spoke to the youthful and optimistic audience regarding the human and connecting power of dreams"
Saber Seven today proudly announced that COO Jordan English Gross was the keynote speaker at this year’s Youth in Civic Leadership Symposium, sponsored by The Future Leaders Institute in Berkeley, CA. The event, which allows high school age humanitarian entrepreneurs the opportunity to present ‘elevator pitches’ of their year long social commitment projects, was attended by over 300 participants, parents, educators and business leaders. Tom Bates, the mayor of Berkeley, presented introductory remarks.
Mr. English spoke to the youthful and optimistic audience regarding the human and connecting power of dreams and how dreaming for a better life is intrinsic to the American Experience, exemplified by the Statue of Liberty. He encouraged the audience to believe that anything is possible in their lives, if they have the spirit and initiative to pursue it. Mr. English exhorted them to discover their ‘inner 40-year old’, because at times they will faced with unique challenges for which they will need a maturity beyond their years. He reminded them that organizations such as The Future Leaders Institute, their parents and teachers, and companies such as Saber Seven, give them ‘permission to dream’ by providing encouragement and mentoring support.
The mission of The Future Leaders Institute is to engage high school youth in generating and implementing visionary solutions for society. The Future Leaders Institute (FLI) guides and mentors youth across the San Francisco Bay area, supporting them as they develop individual initiatives and employ social entrepreneurship in the face of the world’s most pressing needs.
