RESTORING HOPE &
Building Leaders
Every person matters and deserves an opportunity to know and believe that their life matters. We envision a future where all people live a dignified life and are empowered to sustain themselves and assist others in their communities.
Legacy Advance supports, develops and trains under-resourced aspiring leaders and existing community changers to create and implement locally-based solutions to poverty. These self-appointed, local leaders are closest to the challenges of poverty and its effects on their community. Additionally, they are passionate about their work and best suited to develop locally-based solutions to community challenges.
So, while supporting, training, and developing leaders, Legacy Advance addresses the 5 aspects of wellbeing–emotional, relational, spiritual, physical, and financial, equipping local leaders to effectively fulfill their missions to help people out of poverty.
OUR core Principles
OUR PROGRAMS
Program participants are Builders, exceptional people who are intentional about improving their lives and the lives of others!
Legacy Advance Builder Schools
The Builder Schools are a 6-month learning course addressing Legacy Advance core principles: Renew the Mind, Financial Empowerment, Leadership Development, and Community Transformation. Builders participate at no cost to themselves and attend weekly classes through videoconference, participate in weekly practical applications to create, internalize, and practice from course topics, and receive monthly personalized coaching sessions.
Legacy Advance Graduate Teams
Following graduation from a Builder School, Builders join a 6-month Graduate Team cohort to work on community projects or personal missions. Graduate Team program offerings include Business Development (start, grow, save a business), Leadership Development, or Community Transformation (start, grow or save an outreach or ministry). Builders receive support from like-minded Builders, share community transformation projects, and receive accountability for goal and personal development. Monthly cohort meetings are through video conference with personalized application opportunities and a monthly personal coaching session.
Legacy Advance Community Seminars
Monthly Community Seminars through video conferencing allow us to support and train under-resourced people who are unable to attend our 6-month Builder Schools. Community Seminars are available to anyone wanting to learn how to restore hope in the 5 areas of life–emotional, relational, spiritual, physical, and financial, using Legacy Advance core principles and practical applications.
RENEW the mind
As people encounter life, they process experiences through their mind, which impacts their emotions and establishes their will. While we cannot control all of life’s situations, we can learn to think differently about them and take wise actions to improve our lives. Mindset and mentality matter.
MIND
EMOTIONAL
WILL
A poverty mindset exists when our thoughts and feelings focus on lack and hopelessness, instead of possibilities, positive outcomes, and gratitude. A poverty mentality is when we interpret or respond to situations negatively and hopelessly.
Legacy Advance supports leaders in improving their mindset and mentality by renewing the mind. A positive mindset and mentality restores Hope–a confident expectation of good, and provides the fortitude to push through the challenges of poverty. When Hope exists, community transformation can begin!
When people experience trauma, often times they deal with denial and anger, then hopelessness. Legacy Advance comes alongside a hurting person as they journey to a place of new beginnings as Hope is Restored. Renewing the mind initiates the process of Restoring Hope. Helping people to heal and restore their minds, hearts, and behaviors leads to an improved life and advances their legacy.
Financial Empowerment
We equip underserved people in developing countries by investing in their understanding of finance and business principles and by providing tools for advancing their futures. Legacy Advance provides a firm foundation for people to build a healthy, sustainable future.
Legacy Advance provides the knowledge, understanding, and practical application opportunities for aspiring leaders and community changers to improve their personal financial situation. Financial empowerment begins with recording income and expenses; creating weekly, monthly, and yearly budgets; paying debt and saving, and creating a business plan.
Leaders are prepared to manage their resources well and make wise financial decisions. The skills learned not only provide benefit to them personally, but also are an asset as they manage their business, ministry, or outreach.
Leadership Development
Local, under-resourced leaders in underserved communities are capable of creating and implementing locally-based solutions to the hardships in their communities. Some challenges that these leaders experience include maintaining all of their responsibilities as leaders while caring for the endless needs of the people they serve with not enough time, energy, or resources to do it.
Legacy Advance works with aspiring leaders and community changers to accomplish their missions. These leaders are committed to personal development and the development of others. They practice leading well within their limitations of time and resources as they receive personal coaching to create priorities, manage their time, and plan for their finances.
Through Planning, Preparing, Consistency, Integrity, and Giving, leaders are making a significant impact in their communities. They work together in Graduate Teams to create and implement locally-based solutions to poverty through problem solving, group solutions, and individual coaching sessions.
COMMUNITY Transformation
In countries with limited government assistance and few NGOs, local leaders passionate about improving their communities are overworked, under-resourced, and doing it alone. Legacy Advances support, trains and develops under-resourced leaders to create and implement locally-based solutions to poverty.
The Community Transformation process begins with an intensive, six-month Builder School focusing on our four core principles: Renew the Mind, Financial Empowerment, Leadership Development and Community Transformation.
Leaders identify Community Transformation projects that they are or will pursue as Legacy Advance supports them in the steps of Planning, Preparing, Consistency, Integrity, Giving. Practical Learning Opportunities and monthly personal Coaching sessions accelerates the process and increases effectiveness with the implementation of their Community Transformation projects. A positive legacy is being development!
