MESSAGE TO INVESTORS

YOUTH-LEADER comes at you as a fleet of Rolls Royce, a flock of flying White Horses.

Our young and adult members are called hero/ines and the finest role models of humanity,

their speeches historic, the defining speeches of their generation. They succeed where

adults did not, they are national leaders in their field at age fifteen, train adult audiences

and inspire millions across age groups and cultures with 'the most inspirational videos I

have ever seen. It makes me feel I want to get up and do something, too!' They are

showered with the highest honors of our societies, in high demand at schools, all over the

media, and already part of educational textbooks.

United in YOUTH-LEADER, we offer our solutions, media, methods and „live“ services to

a global audience to empower and equip humanity, and especially our global young

generation at school to grow up as inhabitants and co-creators, inhabitants and stewards

of a sustainable civilization.

With our abundance of causes, tools and networks,

paired with intersectorial vision and magic - new synergies emerge!

That is good for you

good for governance

good for your children,

good for exchange of goods and services in a thriving society (business)

There is nothing on a scorched planet, with poor citizens, in a violent culture of scarcety.

There is everything in a civilization of inner and outer peace and abundance for all.

This is what we are up to create on planetary scale. Together.

YOUTH-LEADER serves these hero/ines advance on our common quest of our lifetime,

the creation of a global, peaceful, just, thriving and sustainable civilization aligned with the

sacred principles of life on Earth.

AIRLINES – see what airlines are doing!

Children's rights champion Craig Kielburger has formed a thriving relationship between his Toronto-based organization Free The Children and Richard Branson's Virgin Airlines, that well illustrates the positive potentials of integrating youth leadership, successful sustainable development in an AIRLINE CSR portfolio.

See how their dynamic, innovative partnership is received by Virgin's staff and customers alike!

Sustainable Development

Virgin Atlantic Foundation, a UK registered charity, was set up in 2003 and was created to support the welfare of children and young people through funds raised from Virgin Atlantic’s community investment programme.

In 2010 we partnered with Free The Children. The partnership has been more successful than the we could ever have hoped for.

Free The Children has been capturing the hearts and minds of Virgin Atlantic staff since the partnership began. In fact, it has inspired Virgin Atlantic employees, partners and customers to raise over £3 million for projects at home and overseas.

A word from Richard Branson;“I’m so proud of the partnership Virgin Atlantic has with the Free The Children. I have visited their international development projects and they are remarkable. Their UK schools-based programme is also a pioneering initiative where they are providing young people with skills to become social and environmental entrepreneurs.”

AIRLINES – in-flight media programs!

If anyone needs a peaceful, safe planet, with rich eco-sytems teeming with life, and people with

dreams and money to spend, it is airlines depending on the tourism industry. That is why airlines

should naturally invest in those SUSTAINING and IMPROVING the planetary wealth. That's right,

that's our young hero/ines. And there's a lot of customers – entrepreneurs, academics, conscious

consumers, and of course parents and children who enjoy upliftment on a long journey. And there

is much to add to the current media program. The in-flight magazines are incredibly boring and

disappointing, because the fancy paper is not matched by intelligent contents. The films... man,

we've seen them all.

WE OFFER OPPORTUNITY FOR A GROUNDBREAKING, INSPIRATIONAL

MESHED IN-FLIGHT PRINT + AUDIO + VIDEO PROGRAM

# THE YOUNG HERO/INES interview / article series in your in-flight magazine

aligned with UN Days of the month and / or attuned to your destinations

inspiring customers of all ages; and make the interviews and articles

# linking to your IN-FLIGHT AUDIO PROGRAM

changemakers – uniquely uplifting positive music, raising interest in viewing video!

discusses the state of the world and takes actions during the day!

TIP: Offer the Albums for SALE, and your LOGO will make it into homes.

# linking to your IN-FLIGHT VIDEO PROGRAM

Our videos – authentic videos of young hero/ines, their campaigns, social

entrepreneurial solutions, interviews: „The most insirational I have ever seen!“

➔ option to INVOLVE CUSTOMERS – people inspired by our stories

submit to (y)our media. How about PRIZES: flights to visit a hero/ine in the field !?

➔ CREATE A FILM SERIES WITH US! Do you wish our authentic videos to be pepped up with fresh interviews and cohesive story line? Co-produce a series with us! The big hurdle to production are air travel and hotel costs. We have contents, protagonists, film makers. You have airplanes, hotels, an audience even – and then we take it into schools, globally. ONE airline will do it with us. Will it be you?

SO, WE DO APPRECIATE GETTING STACKS OF FINANCIAL *ENERGY*

FROM WEALTHHOLDERS

FROM COMPANIES WITH MONEY TO SPARE

TESLA should definitely sponsor us. It's so much in their interest, that the

young generation grows up with knowledge of their products. COMPUTERS.

Sure. Most of them. GAMING? Yes, but let's do something about world-

changing games – we've got juice for that. MOBILE TELEPHONY. Most of

them. CAR COMPANIES? Actually, yes, many. FOOD? Real food, yes.

LET'S GET STARTED!
