BOUNDARY
CONDITIONS

The Personal Life Skills Foundation is available to anyone who is willing to commit to taking personal responsibility to improve their lives without regard to race, gender, creed, political affiliation or national origin.

No politics: no partisan or political causes
No religious agenda or causes
No racial or national origin agendas

Politics, religion and racial issues are important and there are other venues for expression of these causes which people can pursue on their own.

We live in a world where too many people emerge from high school and college and start lives with little to no knowledge of how to achieve personal and financial independence.

This foundation is envisioned to be an educational organization that helps return the locus of control back to the people. The main prerequisite for people to get help from the foundation is that they be willing to commit to taking personal responsibility for their lives and they are merely seeking the practical tools to help them do that.

Much of the Foundation’s practical work is aimed at helping people achieve financial literacy. Our educational system through high school and college offer broad general education, and in the case of college, specialty education. But little attention is paid to learning practical everyday life skills that are necessary to becoming personally and financially independent.

With the work of this organization, I hope to change that. I see a world where people can achieve personal and financial independence so that they depend on themselves for their success in life.
