Joey Gilbert Get Active Foundation
Joey Gilbert has developed a foundation that focuses on a comprehensive strategic plan to help children and young adults develop good judgment, self-confidence, and motivation. This foundation is called CHILDREN'S LEADERSHIP & AWARENESS INITIATIVE. The Children's Leadership & Awareness Initiative was designed specifically to assist children and young adults in developing and implementing their own successful “Operating Systems.” Joey has worked with children of all ages and backgrounds. Through his extensive interaction with children, Joey recognized that most young people today have three significant problems: (1) a lack of good judgment, (2) a lack of self-confidence, and (3) a lack of motivation or will power. One does not need endless statistics or university studies (although there are many available) to know that there is an intimate connection between an individual's judgment, confidence, motivation, and his or her success in life. Providing children and young adults with a program to help develop these characteristics (“Operating System”) is a core purpose of The Joey Gilbert Foundation.
This Foundation has increasingly developed into the Get Active Foundation that includes all of the above aspects and focuses on the aspects of young people's lives including: community involvement, fitness, personal confidence, drug awareness and volunteering.
Joey Gilbert takes it as his personal duty to educate children and help them in as many ways as possible.
