Shay White has been incarcerated at Rockville Correctional Facility for almost 20 years. A former nurse, a mother of four, and a wife, she says, “I never thought I’d end up in a place like a prison.” Shay felt isolated and had lost everything she’d worked for her entire life. But when she experienced the Global Leadership Summit in 2021, Shay was inspired to face her fears. She stepped out in courage to change her facility with a 100-day kindness challenge. It has transformed the culture around her, one small act at a time.

Iysha’s teacher recognized her value. It lifted her up in her lowest moments, and inspired her to recognize value in others. “That was the thing that changed my life. Someone seeing me.” Now the principal at Doolittle Elementary, she’s committed to seeing her students. Dedicated to creating spaces for children to thrive, Iysha realized a lack of resources for developing leadership in children. So when GLS Next-Gen built a leadership curriculum specifically for her school, it changed everything.
The kids at Doolittle, proud that leadership materials are meant just for them, are more than up for the task. One student, once institutionalized for his behavior, became the fiercest advocate for change in his entire classroom. And out of all the school’s activities, children are most excited to join the leadership cohort.
In 2018, someone saw something in Bo, inviting him to attend a Global Leadership Summit hosted in Algoa Correctional Center in Jefferson City, MO. After learning from the world’s best leaders, Bo saw something in himself—his capacity to lead others long after the Summit experience ended. Watch Bo’s video!
In June of this year, Bo went home to his family. He sees something more for other prison residents around the globe. Your gift can enable a new program in prisons that unpacks leadership content year-round, fostering new leaders with healthy futures.
