Over the past decade, we have developed over 40 programs, books, courses, workshops, events, and initiatives designed to engage and inspire people of every race, religion, nationality, age, gender, experience, education, or income.
We can no longer afford to do business, education, or government the same way as in the past — the problems of the world are simply too large and too dangerous. We must stop the fractional approach we have always used and collaborate to succeed or possibly even survive.
CSR Programs & Initiatives that Connect & Produce Action
CSR Programs & Initiatives that Connect & Produce Action
H.E.A.R.T. Education for Quality of Life (E-QL) are Education & Action Programs Designed to Engage & Inspire Based on The Four Pillars of “One Planet One People” — Civility, Social Responsibility, Volunteerism & Global Citizenship — Teaching Kindness, Diversity, Inclusion & Responsibility through Life Skills
Cause: To Solve Many of the Social Problems Facing Society We Need to Engage & Inspire Youth of All Ages through Planned Acts of Kindness and Increased Civility
Problem: The Youth of Today & Tomorrow are Frustrated and Upset about the World they are Inheriting as Society’s Seemingly Insurmountable Problems are Due to Become their Problems
Consequence: Children and Young Adults are Becoming Increasingly Isolated, Lonely, Anxious, Frustrated, and Upset and are More Likely to Exhibit Self-Destructive Behavior, or Engage in Abusive, Anti-Social Actions
Solution: Provide Youth in Schools — from four to 18 years old — with HEART-based action programs starting with Daily Planned Acts of Kindness they can do in school, with family, friends, and in the community where they achieve recognition & rewards based on their positive behavior. This system builds and strengthens relationships and leads to a stronger sense of community — both keys to living happier and healthier lives while acting as a support network that helps lessen the damaging effects of problems.
Corporate Action: “Be The Hero!” and Help Bring HEART Education for Quality of Life (E-QL) into Schools Around The World!
Boost your company’s Leadership, Management, Team Building and Transformative Public Relations on a local, regional, national, and global scale as you form groups that bring HEART-centered kindness and civility programs into schools for children of all ages. Hold competitions, events and fund-raisers with Leaderboards and employee recognition and rewards components. Challenge other departments, divisions, or even companies
Works in conjunction with Collaboration Impact Areas to reduce abuse, violence, loneliness, anxiety, isolation, depression, mental health issues in children (and adults) and promote healthy relationships and stronger community ties.
Collaboration Impact Area: Violence, Crime & Mental Illness Reduction leading to greater Health, Happiness & Wellness in individuals and billions of dollars in societal cost savings.
Cause: Putting “civil” back into civilization by restoring socialization skills in children, youth, and adults’ daily behaviors.
Problem: Individuals, influencers, companies, and governments are becoming increasingly divisive and intolerant, leading to increased mental illness, violence, and crime.
Consequence: The lack of civility harms people’s Quality of Life on both sides of the issue while escalating the cost to society in terms of actual dollars.
Solution:Add Planned Acts of Kindness activities into people’s lives through a network of programs and initiatives that form a civility-based support system. Programs start with school children as young as four years old and continue throughout adult life through collaborations with faith-based and non-profit organizations, higher education, companies, and governments.
Corporate Action: Form teams to engage the stakeholders of various target groups, from school children (students, parents, principals, superintendents of education, influencers, mayors, governors) to the incarcerated (families, wardens, superintendents of prisons, congress) to establish quantifiable prevention programs.
By providing programs in schools and prisons for every 100,000 people we prevent from going to prison or returning to prison, we save taxpayers and society *$54.5 billion annually.
______________________________________
• The United States has the largest prison population in the world at 2.2 million incarcerated — equal to the combined total of the two most populous countries in the world China and India. However, China and India have 10 times the population of the United States
• The annual cost of the 2.2 million incarcerated to U.S. taxpayers and society is $1.2 trillion — that’s trillion, not billions
• In comparison, the Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs benefit 154 million Americans annually at a total cost of $1.4 trillion
• One goal of our NPOs is to establish a series of support programs that reduce the prison population and save the American public $54.5 billion for every 100,000 people — money that is desperately needed elsewhere
• But enacting our Quality of Life programs have even greater benefits for People & Society:
Greater Respect • Greater Tolerance • Greater Civility
Less Abusive Behaviors • Better Relationships
Less Anxiety, Loneliness & Depression
Lower Drug Use • Fewer Suicides
Less Mental Health Issues
Lower Violence Rates
Lower Murder Rates
Lower Crime Rates
In Short Happier, Healthier People & Stronger Families, Neighborhoods, Communities, Businesses & Government
The Collaboration Think Tank Network addresses the most pressing problems humanities faces — from climate change, pollution, pandemics, and war to global economic, health, and social inequalities that threaten the Quality of Life for kids, people, and the planet.
Cause: Collaborating to Achieve the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Problem: We are using a Fractional approach to solve Global Issues & it will not work.
Consequence: Over the next decade, 8 billion people will undergo catastrophic economic, social, and health issues.
Solution: One Planet One People’s Collaboration Think Tank is designed to bring together Influencers and Institutions to provide actionable solutions, programs, products, and delivery systems to improve people’s Quality of Life around the world and prevent the Tipping Points from causing wholesale massive destruction.
Corporate Action: Demonstrate your company’s CSR leadership and invite clients, prospects, suppliers, influencers, partners, competitors and institutional players including government agencies, non-profits, and universities — to join the Collaboration Think Tank Network and work to deliver actionable solutions for individuals (from the grassroots up) to organizations (working the top down).
Action: “Be The Hero!” and be part of the solution by becoming a member of the Collaboration Think Tank Network as an Ambassador, Volunteer, Influencer, or Institutional Partner. All nationalities, all languages, all welcome. Learn more and sign-up through the PAK App.
One Planet One People Clubs: Addressing the most pressing problems we face: from climate change, pollution, pandemics, and war to global economic, health, and social inequalities that threaten the Quality of Life for kids, people, and the planet
Cause: Help People develop real world skill training while helping other people around the World achieve better Quality of Life outcomes through Collaborative Programs, Books, Events & Initiatives regardless of Nationality, Race, Religion, Age, Gender, Education or Income
Problem: Most Educational Systems don’t provide us (or our children) with Real World Social & Skill Development that has a Direct Positive Impact on Other People’s Quality of Life
Consequence: Students and Graduates often don’t develop the practical skills they need in their lives and careers until they are out of school, and billions of people never receive the support they need to enhance their health, happiness, and wellness.
Solution: To Provide Youth and Adults with a Support Program that Helps Them Build Quality Relationships, Skills and a Strong Sense of Community While Doing Engaging Activities that Provide Quality of Life for People Around the World.
Corporate Action: “Be The Hero!” and help bring One Planet One People Clubs into schools, companies and communities on a local, national or global scale. May include collaborations with sports teams, influencers, celebrities, etc. Also, provides a pathway for company employees to volunteer and/or mentor others.
Our Mission is to have 1POP Clubs in all 200 countries by the end of 2024 providing social, skill, and community development to hundreds of millions. Only with your help and support will we make it happen this quickly.
