LEADERS OF TOMORROW
Mentor a promising youth and pass along your knowledge to the next generation
of professionals through our Leaders of Tomorrow® program.
For over a decade, this successful program has provided a positive influence to high
school students with a grade point average between C- and C+, who have
exhibited leadership potential, but require additional motivational factors in their
lives to achieve excellence.
Local mentoring opportunities are available through the NBMBAA's chapters, which
include leading workshops, chaperoning students to the NBMBAA Annual Conference,
and administering scholarship programs for college bound students.
Leaders of Tomorrow®- Conference Essay Scholarship -Sponsored by Mars, Inc.
In addition to fulfilling the local chapter guidelines of active participation in monthly
mentoring workshops/ sessions, and demonstrating leadership skills throughout the
year each student is required to write a 500 word essay as part of their conference
application. The essay topics are focused on how historically events and people from
the local conference city have impacted the economic and intellectual wealth for the
African-American community. Ten (10) scholarships at $1,000.00 each are awarded to
students attending the annual conference.
The Leaders of Tomorrow® Senior Scholarship Program, sponsored by AXA
Foundation, will provide (5) $2,000.00 scholarships to selected Leaders of Tomorrow®
students in local chapter programs and are seniors in high school via an essay
competition. The essay focuses on the students’ leadership skill, community
service and involvement in the Leaders of Tomorrow® program.
