Research has shown that future business leaders and entrepreneurs make decisions
based on their exposure in life. They consider it a competitive advantage. Exposure
opens up new horizons and encourages people to step out of their rut. Exposure
expands our vision and can make the impossible seem possible, per Forbes
magazine. (Forbes magazine, Ten Ways Travel Can Make You a better Business
Leader.(11/11/11)
Vision Builder Adventures(VBA) feels that one of the problems contributing to the rise
in high school drop-out rates and teen pregnancy is a lack of vision due to lack of
exposure. Exposure helps youth expand their horizon and give them an opportunity
to see outside of their current circumstances and/or environment. It gives
them something to hope for and believe in and thereby could positively affect
their decision making. We hope that we can help our young leaders understand
how their now decisions (good or bad) will affect their future outcomes.
Relevant exposure can help youth to see that the imaginations of past leaders
are the birth place of every invention we see today and that the imaginations of
future leaders will be the birth place of tomorrow's inventions. Upon
completing our program, our youth will understand that they have a choice and
opportunity to either sit on the side line or be a future leader.
