One Voice One Team
S.W.O.L.E.™ Camp
Description
Through customized assemblies, school programs and our “S.W.O.L.E™” camps, One Voice One Team uses cognitive and physical activities to introduce and reinforce key success principles. “S.W.O.L.E™” is our flagship program and stands for: Self Respect, Work Hard, Overcome Adversity, Lead by Example and Excellence. Upon successful program completion, participants are inducted as lifetime members of the “S.W.O.L.E™” family and become advocates of the “S.W.O.L.E™” doctrine. This is demonstrated through their commitment to being hard working and responsible leaders at home, school and in their community.
The Inspiration:
To make a difference in the lives of youth and help them to realize how their unique gifts and talents can have a positive impact in their lives and the lives of others. Through the challenges that we face, we build resilience and a reservoir to draw strength. This is what helps young people make decisions to move towards success and, in the future, into adults who care about the wellbeing of their community.
The Focus:
Through our stories, expertise and methodology, we have created many programs that have been proven to help youth make the necessary decisions that help move them towards success in their lives and in the community.
The Story:
The story of One Voice One Team is a simple yet unique one. Our team brings an incredible range and diversity of life experiences and journeys of excellence. Each team member has an inspirational life story. Each story is used to reach, empower and enlighten the hearts and minds of youth today so they can become the leaders of today and tomorrow. Through our stories, expertise and methodology, we have created many programs that have been proven to help youth make the necessary decisions that help move them towards success in their lives and in the community.
Making a Difference:
Junior counsellors work alongside our senior staff to deliver powerful programming to youth in elementary and middle schools. This provides a very practical opportunity for “S.W.O.L.E™” students to pour back into their own community when they lead by example.
Overcoming Challenges:
This organization was birthed from a challenging situation, our executive director was physically beaten and at the lowest point in his life. Looking back he is grateful because the challenges he faced allowed him to realize that our programming is necessary. Now the premise of our program is based on overcoming the challenges you face and helping others to do the same.
Vision for the Future:
To impact more lives by training others who have the same heart and passion to lead our programming and make a positive change in the communities around the world.
Social Impact:
The “S.W.O.L.E™” school program is a customized program that is based on the needs, mission and opportunities of the school or organization we partner with. Youth are engaged in a series of cognitive activities designed to teach five leadership principles: Self-respect, Work hard, Overcome adversity, Lead by example, Excellence. Upon successful program completion, participants are inducted as lifetime members of the “S.W.O.L.E™” family and become advocates of the “S.W.O.L.E™” doctrine.
