MESSAGE TO INVESTORS
YOUTH-LEADER comes at you as a fleet of Rolls Royce, a flock of flying White Horses. Our young and adult members are called hero/ines and the finest role models of humanity, their speeches historic, the defining speeches of their generation. They succeed where adults did not, they are national leaders in their field at age fifteen, train adult audiences and inspire millions across age groups and cultures with 'the most inspirational videos I have ever seen. It makes me feel I want to get up and do something, too!' They are showered with the highest honors of our societies, in high demand at schools, all over the media, and already part of educational textbooks. United in YOUTH-LEADER, we offer our solutions, media, methods and „live“ services to a global audience to empower and equip humanity, and especially our global young generation at school to grow up as inhabitants and co-creators, inhabitants and stewards of a sustainable civilization. With our abundance of causes, tools and networks, paired with intersectorial vision and magic - new synergies emerge! That is good for you good for governance good for your children, good for exchange of goods and services in a thriving society (business) There is nothing on a scorched planet, with poor citizens, in a violent culture of scarcety. There is everything in a civilization of inner and outer peace and abundance for all. This is what we are up to create on planetary scale. Together. YOUTH-LEADER serves these hero/ines advance on our common quest of our lifetime, the creation of a global, peaceful, just, thriving and sustainable civilization aligned with the sacred principles of life on Earth.

AIRLINES – see what airlines are doing! Children's rights champion Craig Kielburger has formed a thriving relationship between his Toronto-based organization Free The Children and Richard Branson's Virgin Airlines, that well illustrates the positive potentials of integrating youth leadership, successful sustainable development in an AIRLINE CSR portfolio. See how their dynamic, innovative partnership is received by Virgin's staff and customers alike! Sustainable Development Virgin Atlantic Foundation, a UK registered charity, was set up in 2003 and was created to support the welfare of children and young people through funds raised from Virgin Atlantic’s community investment programme. In 2010 we partnered with Free The Children. The partnership has been more successful than the we could ever have hoped for. Free The Children has been capturing the hearts and minds of Virgin Atlantic staff since the partnership began. In fact, it has inspired Virgin Atlantic employees, partners and customers to raise over £3 million for projects at home and overseas.
A word from Richard Branson; “I’m so proud of the partnership Virgin Atlantic has with the Free The Children. I have visited their international development projects and they are remarkable. Their UK schools-based programme is also a pioneering initiative where they are providing young people with skills to become social and environmental entrepreneurs.” View their Sustainability page http://bit.ly/1SjcPhj & Report from page 36 http://bit.ly/1dVMesM

AIRLINES – in-flight media programs! If anyone needs a peaceful, safe planet, with rich eco-sytems teeming with life, and people with dreams and money to spend, it is airlines depending on the tourism industry. That is why airlines should naturally invest in those SUSTAINING and IMPROVING the planetary wealth. That's right, that's our young hero/ines. And there's a lot of customers – entrepreneurs, academics, conscious consumers, and of course parents and children who enjoy upliftment on a long journey. And there is much to add to the current media program. The in-flight magazines are incredibly boring and disappointing, because the fancy paper is not matched by intelligent contents. The films... man, we've seen them all. WE OFFER OPPORTUNITY FOR A GROUNDBREAKING, INSPIRATIONAL
