Leadership Program
The WVI Dolphin Foundation and its partners have developed a unique, hybrid—in-person and virtual—Leadership and Life Skills Mentorship Program. This program connects underserved high-school-aged youth and Blue- and Gold-Star high schoolers between the ages of 15 and 18 with a remarkable lineup of volunteer mentors. These mentors feature celebrity athletes, veterans, and accomplished entrepreneurs and executives. These mentors share their inspiring stories of overcoming adversity as part of the program's character development component. Additionally, the program offers engaging modules focused on STEM, job readiness training, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and the concept of Leadership as Service. Certificate awardees receive direct introductions to potential corporate employers sourced from our robust WVI Dolphin Foundation ecosystem.

We inspire the fortunate to utilize their prestige, wealth, and power to "give back" and make a disproportionate impact on underserved youth and veterans.
Our end goal is to produce a growing network of diverse, service-oriented young leaders who, in turn, mentor others, become high-performing employees in the for-profit and/or non-profit sectors, and contribute to society as a whole.
