A chapter preview of U.N.I.Q.U.E. Kids, Growing My Leadership Garden will be provided for Grandparents Day to any grandparent who requests the gift
[September 4, 2009 Albany OR] Debra Slover, Founder of Leadership Garden® Legacy announced today that the organization will provide a chapter of U.N.I.Q.U.E. KIDS: Growing My Leadership Garden as a gift to grandparents on Grandparents Day.
“The ability to lead,” stated Ms. Slover, “is the most important gift any grandparent could give to a grandchild. The ability to lead is not developed at a conference table or in a boardroom. The ability to lead is formed at the dinner table. Children and grandchildren look to grandparents for wisdom, for guidance, and for leadership. The family’s future begins with the grandparents. Family values undergird everything we do as individuals. Those values must be passed on by grandparents to children and grandchildren. U.N.I.Q.U.E. KIDS: Growing My Leadership Garden provides a framework that allows grandparents to begin to develop a lasting leadership legacy.”
“Anyone can leave a legacy of money or property or anything else they might wish to leave,” Slover said, “but what we suggest is to develop a method to pass on the gift of personal leadership to those who come behind us. This gift, costing nothing at all, is of paramount importance to those we leave behind. It is a gift that will not rust or decay. It will not be spent all at once or frivolously squandered away. The gift of personal leadership, given by grandparents to grandchildren, is a gift that will last forever in future generations. Our Grandparent’s Day gift is the first step towards encouraging grandparents to pass their leadership wisdom along to their children and grandchildren. What could hold more value that that?”
Grandparents can download the starter kit using the information below. The children’s book is a full-color adaptation of the adult book, U.N.I.Q.U.E.: Growing the Leader Within, and is told in a straight fable format. It is intended as a read aloud book with a grandparent, parent, or teacher - or chapter book for students, depending upon the setting, skill level,and interest of the child.
The Leadership Garden Legacy program is designed to be a catalyst in helping to create a network of people that uses a "natural leadership development" framework to make the world a better place to live, work, and play.
The Grandparents Day gift is available at no cost by visiting www.leadershipgardenlegacy.com/leadership-garden/grandparentscom. The gift will also be made available by visiting the new marketplace at Grandparents.com.

Thursday, April 30, 2009
Leadership Garden Fund Announces Cultivation Grant To Girls Leadership Organization 4GGL
Quarterly grants will be awarded to schools, institutions, churches and community groups
Debra Slover, Founder of Leadership Garden® Legacy and patron of the Leadership Garden Fund, announced today its first Cultivation Grant award in the amount of $500 to For Girls Glocal Leadership (4GGL).
4GGL partners with existing local organizations to develop girls’ leadership programs in disadvantaged communities worldwide. 4GGL works currently with organizations in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Liberia, Peru and New York City. A Cultivation Grant in the amount of $500 was awarded in support of their 1000 LEADERS “Compassion Project” fund raising challenge.
“The mission of 4GGL," stated Slover, "aligns perfectly with our vision of a thriving worldwide Leadership Garden Legacy. Our goal is to seed and nurture 11 million Leadership Gardens by 11/11/11.”
The Leadership Garden Fund is part of the Leadership Garden Legacy unveiled earlier this month by Ms. Slover. It offers grants to individuals and organizational members of the Leadership Garden Registry who are interested in creating projects that support six leader-friendly gardening practices. These projects are made up of Inclusion Projects, Safe and Healthy Community Projects, Compassion Projects, Kindness Projects, Accountability Projects and Healing Projects.
Grants between $250-500 will be awarded quarterly, and can be obtained by non-profit organizations or individuals affiliated with a non-profit organization such as a church, school, institution, or community group.
'The 4GGL Cultivation Grant," said Ms. Slover, "supports the grassroots movement, a "glocal" action, across the United States to awaken the consciousness of Americans about girls' leadership development and its benefit to families and communities around the world."
4GGL's 1000 LEADERS fund raising challenge encourages everyday people to make the world's poorest girls a priority by making a contribution of $10 or more. The challenge will run until Mother's Day of 2009. Money raised will go towards the efforts of 4GGL in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India where they will help to develop the leadership skills of 150 female students ages 16-24 to return to their communities, train more leaders, and provide support for grassroots organizations serving impoverished girls.
The Leadership Garden Legacy program is designed to be a catalyst in helping to create a network of people that uses a "natural leadership development" framework to make the world a better place to live, work, and play. This mission is accomplished through the leader-friendly gardening "Practice Project" grants.
