In this paper, I will be introducing my organization proposition FLAP, or Future Leaders Adventure Program. FLAP would be a non-profit organization in Norfolk, Virginia whose focus is to invest in the kids and teens in the Norfolk area of varying economic levels. Although FLAP would be multifaceted, for the sake of this paper, I will address the plans for FLAP’s after-school program. While many after-school programs rely on volunteer teachers to run the program, FLAP utilizes paid employees to ensure that the students are able to experience a wide range of opportunities and leadership growth through both speakers and outings. In this paper, I will address FLAP’s mission, vision, goals, HR policies, and argue that my human resource frame is best suited for the organization.
FLAP’s mission is, “Empowering leaders of the future through opportunities to explore, engage, and influence.” The “explore” portion of the mission statement encompasses FLAP’s desire to provide kids and teens with a means to explore their community through the guidance of nurturing adults. The “engage” portion represents FLAP’s desire to give kids and young teens the chance to engage with the material they are presented with, to engage in conversation with their leaders, and to engage in the community that FLAP creates. Finally, the “influence” portion points to FLAP’s desire to develop these students into those who can positively influence their community. Right away, FLAP’s mission aligns with the

This paper will also give an outline of the goals that I consider a priority and a timeline for this development. The overall result will be an inclusive leadership plan of development that I will use to grow myself as well as any organization that I work for in the future.
My goals are to attend college and to continue to support issues such as women empowerment, which I have been actively supporting the past 4 years. I desire to major in informatics because I would like to go into a field that not many women go into and I desire to minor (or perhaps double major if possible) in business because the female to male ratio of leaders in the business are depressingly low for females in America today, despite the fact that women are just as capable as men in the workplace. I believe that the KPMG Future Leaders Program’s goal for developing future generations of women leaders is personally, my perfect opportunity. The scholarship provided in this program would help me go to the best college of my choice to receive

M. Scott Norton (2008) defines human resources as being evolved from the word personnel, because people were considered to be the primary asset of a system (p.3).

Duke’s The Challenges of School District Leadership, the challenges of staffing schools is discussed as well as considerations for school leaders to consider when going through the process of staffing. These challenges revolve around recruitment, retention, developing school leaders. This paper will discuss the complexities involved in staffing

If I were writing a job description for the leader of a tropical conservation program in a developing country the skills that I would require would include, ability to work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, proven ability to develop strong unique collaborative partnerships, broad knowledge of conservation including socioeconomic and ecological components, and demonstrated leadership experience. I would not limit the candidates to a particular educational experience, as I would rather have local community members fulfill this position.

The ability to work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and the proven ability to develop strong unique collaborative partnerships would be necessary skills to have when leading conservation initiatives in developing countries for similar reasons.
