Fizikel Foundation’s Empower the Youth Outreach Program
Works cohesively with the Fuel for Life Success Journal
or the Fuel for Life Success Jouranl with bible references
Through the Empower the Youth Outreach Program youth will decide on a ‘cause’ that can help better a group of people and/or community and set achievable goals in order to see it come to pass. Youth will have the opportunity to come together within their community or a neighboring community and utilize their individual gifts and talents to help bring about a positive change.
A detailed program guide will be provided to help direct the youth and their leadership in deciding upon a ‘cause’ in their local area while developing an action plan on how to carry it out.
The Fuel for Life Success Journal is highly recommended to be purchased.

This day can take place in a neighboring inner city where the Empower the Youth Outreach Program took place and will be both a wrap up to the summer program as well as a continued outreach in a neighboring community. Youth from this neighboring community (through their Boys & Girls Club, PAL programs, etc.) will be invited out to take part in the Empower the Youth Day. This day will be a culmination of all the activities that took place during the summer program giving the youth the opportunity to display their art work, showcase their songs, participate in fizikel challenges, give testimonials and receive achievement awards.
Fizikel Challenge
The Fizikel Challenge is an event in which youth can participate in a variety of challenging activities that will build confidence and self-esteem all while competing against their peers.
The Champion Mentorship Program
The Champion Mentorship Program enables youth the opportunity to help other youth, help their local community and help others less fortunate around the world ultimately changing lives, changing communities and changing the world. Upper-class students, who take place in the after school and/or summer Champion Mentorship Program will have the opportunity to inspire, motivate and educate others to maximize their human potential.
A percentage of the tuition for the Champion Mentorship Program will go to Fizikel Foundation to help continue the vision to ‘empower all youth everywhere to maximize human potential’ and its mission to 'expand The Fuel for Life Lifestyle Teaching curriculum to communities around the world.
The Champion Mentorship Program is designed to inspire, motivate and educate the next generation. Students will be selected between the ages of 12 and 17 to help encourage and inspire students who are between the ages of 4and 11. The mentorship program will take place during the before/after school programs, summer camps, and possibly during school. Upper-class students will be partnered with lower-class students and work side by side in the areas of tutoring, creative projects, physical activities and local community outreaches and projects.
Each student who enrolls in the Champion Mentorship Program will be required to participate in three 1-hour Mentorship Training Classes prior to the start of the program.
Tutoring:
Tutoring will take place during the after school program and involves helping lower-class students with weekly homework and preparation for projects and tests.
Creative Projects:
Creative projects include; art, music, drama, etc. that are being offered during an after school program and summer camp.
Physical Activities:
Physical activity involving; exercise, sports and nutrition.
Local Outreach/Community Projects:
Local Outreaches and Community Projects will take place during the after school program and summer camps.
Local outreaches will take place in neighboring inner city neighborhoods so that the Champion Mentorship Program impacts not only those who are doing the mentoring but brings those that are being mentored into areas where they too can help other students. Local community projects will take place in the town that the Champion Mentorship Program resides in.
Global Outreach:
Each summer, through Fizikel Foundation, one or more student(s) will be selected out of the Champion Mentorship Program that is being offered in various locations, to go on a mission trip either inside or outside the US. The time spent will better prepare the mentors for the next stage of their life.

§ An ability to utilize their gifts and talents over a period of time (4-5 day trip) to inspire, motivate and educate others
§ A change in perspective that can impact themselves and others
§ A deepening appreciation for what America has to offer
§ An enhanced awareness of the global crisis (i.e. food, disease)

- Overall growth throughout the mentorship program

Testimonials
Asbury Park, NJ (pilot program launched summer 2008)
Through this program, youth developed goals for their life, vision for their future and an action plan to back it up! We saw changes in motivation and attitude within the first week. The youth began to develop new interests as they were exposed to various types of employment and career opportunities.
Within in the first two weeks of the program, we heard personal testimonies such as these:
"I want to be a U.S. Coast Guard"
"My attitude has really changed for the better. I used to...."
"This art project is a reflection of my father and the difficult times he has been going through",
"Mr. Jay taught me how to swim"
"I learned what Fizikel taught me as the 3 P's ....that I have to "prepare" and "persist" so that I may "persevere" so I can maximize my potential"
"This program taught me that I can do anything that I put my mind to",
"When Jay and Fizikel came on board, they helped the PAL's (Police Athletic League) program get to a whole new level" said Danielle (PAL's intern)
