NCAF calls for youth leaders

-

MANILA, Philippines - The Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation (NCAF) calls for applications to its youth leadership program, the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Leadership Journey, which will be held on Nov. 19-21 at the Aquino Center, Tarlac.

In the Philippines today, there is an underlying culture of patronage, corruption and deceit. This has resulted in broken institutions, poverty, mistrust of government among citizens, and abuse of the underprivileged. A vacuum of moral leadership in critical areas of national life is impeding the country’s progress.

It’s time to build a new nucleus of leaders that are grounded on spirituality,” NCAF executive director Rafael Lopa says. “From these young people, we can hopefully transform Philippine society.”

Using Ninoy and Cory Aquino as role models, the program seeks to reintroduce spirituality as a major foundation for Filipino leadership. Harnessing their innate values system, the participants take part in a process of self-reflection that will ultimately lead to self-transformation and self-commitment for others and country. It is the hope of the foundation that the young persons will be moved to commit to a life of service and mission through effective and impactful community work.

The NCA Leadership Journey is open to all young Filipino citizens residing in the Philippines, 18-25 years old and at least a college sophomore a the time of the application. He/she should be a current youth leader, has a passion for excellence and public service. Interested applicants may download forms at www.iamninoy.com or call 892-5360 or email [email protected].

Deadline for application is on Oct. 29, 5 pm. Based on all the applications submitted, NCAF will select the top 30 applicants who will participate in the NCA Leadership Journey (Batch 1) on Nov. 19-21.
