- Stewardship encourages an attitude of gratitude and teaching kids about the importance and the joy of giving so that when they become adults, they understand the importance of hard work.
- Philanthropy teaches children the power of giving back and leadership, who better to train than our future leaders.
- Diversity is a part of all cultures. Not only do children become exposed to variety with WOPY, but they will also attain real life experiences for the real world in the future.
- Youth Development starts from the time our children are born. Statistics have shown that early childhood development expands a child's creativity. More so, developed leaders armed with dignity.
- Self Advocacy builds confidence which can be a high hurdle to jump for some children. With the support of their families, WPY, and our partners; we impel all children to become capable at striving to the best of the ability.
- Empowerment creates and teaches children to become delegated leaders. Children empower us adults just as much as we do them, why not give them something to follow.
- Leadership is a privilege earned amongst the best of the best. We want to instill in the kids to give everything their all at their fullest potential and change the world.
