Not Your Average Foundation -- Le Antonio’s Foundation Makes Plans for A “Youth Conference in November 2015” to instill the willpower to succeed in the youths of Jamaica.

Plans are in full motion at Le Antonio’s Foundation for “Youth Conference 2015” with the sole purpose of inspiring youths across the parishes of Jamaica to aim for the sky in their goals and ambitions, with the the oath of a success and fulfilling future.

Le Antonio’s Foundation Youth Conference 2015, which is scheduled to be hosted on November 5th 2015, will bring together the youth of Jamaica from across different backgrounds and community cultures, including students from over 300 high schools, trade schools, colleges as well as displaced young persons.

A conference of this calibre is exceptionally important especially for youngsters as it is during this transitional age between 13 and 21 years that a youngster’s values, morals and ideals are shaped. They acquire major life decisions pertaining to their life and career during this stage and therefore, making the right choice is crucial; this is the reason why Le Antonio’s Foundation Youth Conference 2015 is being held -- to empower them with tools for their future success.

Le Antonio’s Foundation is taking the steps to help shape the minds and growth of the youths to prepare them for college and adulthood. The Foundation is a non-profit registered charitable organization in Jamaica with limited funding, so in order to make this event a reality they have put together this crowdfunding campaign here on GoFundMe.com, so the community can have an opportunity to help them move this forward!

The Youth Conference will host motivational speakers who are successful in their respective fields to help the youth of Jamaica find their calling. These professional speakers belong to several industries including management and teaching; whilst some are physicians, lawyers, banking professionals, nurses, politicians, business entrepreneurs, agriculture professionals, technologist and the like. The conference is certain to be extremely informative and will ensure that every student who attend will leave the event a transformed individual, motivated to dream big, and work hard towards great achievements.

All funds will be used towards (see the budget summary at the end of this page)
the venue rental, meals, lighting, audio, stage, live streaming, transporting students to and from the conference venue, scholarships, awards, insurance, medical facilities, along with media coverage, marketing, creation of promotional materials like banners, t-shirts, reference material for the students, etc.
