As many as 77% of people today have encountered anxiety when faced with public speaking. The ability to speak comfortably in front of a crowd while also forming precise thoughts is crucial in all walks of life, whether it be business or politics.
Rising Stars is a Japanese American youth leadership program that provides budding students with the opportunity to gain skills needed to succeed in life. Industry professionals such as Vanna Novak, teaching “Speak to Persuade,” give interactive workshops that emphasize life-long skills essential for becoming a leader.
The intensive eight-month program provides hands-on experience to students who are tasked with organizing a miniature golf tournament fundraiser. Utilizing every skill provided in each workshop ranging from networking to ethics, students solicit sponsorships and donors to create a golf event filled with goodies, prizes, and fun.
Peyton Motoyasu from Rising Stars 18 says, “Rising Stars has helped me develop leadership skills to use in school and in the future.”
Brenden Sakae from Rising Stars 16 talks about the program’s impact on his life: “Rising Stars has helped me by giving me a strong networking foundation and providing me with the fundamental skills to build those relationships”.
The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of unity and support within our community. Rising Stars is committed to creating a new generation of Japanese American leaders. The fundraiser will support the Rising Stars Leadership Program 19 for 2022-23.
