Youth Empowerment AcademyUsing adversity to find
passion and purpose

• Cornell Bunting is an author and motivational
  speaker who connects to his audience through his
  words. The power of his writing inspires and
  entertains children and adults alike. But few
  know the catalyst behind his brilliant writing,
  poetry, and inspirational speaking. It is because
  of his own harrowing story, one of survival,
  inspiration and motivation, that Bunting found
  the urge to reach as many people as possible. He
  has extended his reach through his nonprofit
  organization EHAS. EHAS is a 501c3 nonprofit
  organization.
• Because Bunting believes in the possibility of
  using this organization to create self-reliance
  and a growth mindset for disadvantaged youths, he
  set upon a mission to empower the youths to
  create a healthy mindset of value and
  self-reliance. The vision behind that goal is to
  teach the youths how to use the adversity in
  their lives to find purpose through their unique
  stories.

• Bunting is no stranger to adversity. Years ago,
  he was framed and spent time in jail for a series
  of crimes he did not commit. The crimes comprised
  16 felony charges that put Bunting behind bars
  for ten months facing 32 years to life in prison.
  During that time in jail, while things were first
  confusing to him, Bunting witnessed a miracle.
  His life suddenly came into perspective and he
  was able to acknowledge his purpose. In jail, he
  would come to understand the importance of
  writing his stories, sharing them, and seeing how
  those around him had their own stories despite
  the crimes they committed. He understood that
  their current situation did not cancel their
  purpose. There was always a reason why they went
  astray. He wondered if he could develop some sort
  of intervention at that important intersection
  point, he could help many kids never have to grow
  up to see the inside of a prison cell.
• He decided to open an organization to help
  at-risk youth. T h o u g h t EHAS, he could spare
  many of these young people from a terrible fate.
  More importantly, they would be able to share
  their stories and help even more youth. Because
  of how he reconnected to his writing while he was
  behind bars, Bunting developed the ability to
  listen to the young mind in prison.
• They were raw and undeveloped, but had great
  promise and potential. From that, he knew how
  important it was to develop. This was not just
  about lessening crime and imprisonment. That was
  the bonus. The real prize is that youth were
  guided in discovering their purpose and the many
  ways they could add great value to society.

• This was the impetus behind EHAS and the force
  that gave birth to its mission. Bunting wanted to
  ensure the organization would empower
  storytellers who are creating or expanding
  self-sustaining communities that benefit other
  youth. The organization would also cultivate a
  purpose-driven mindset through mental wellness
  and financial literacy. As he built his team, he
  searched for people who would help reach the
  younger mindset. He partnered with other
  organizations to help bring great value to his
  vision. The story creators program started to
  take shape as a program that consists of four
  initiatives
• 1. Using adversity to find purpose
• 2. Developing Critical thinking skills
• 3. Valuing Friends and family
• 4. Learning Financial literacy

• This program/workshop will help youths understand
  how their mindsets contribute to their success
  and failures. The workshop will help to fix
  broken mindsets that seek to convince kids that
  their minds are inherently negative. Instead,
  they will learn a growth mindset one that helps
  the youth to trust and believe in their qualities
  and supports them as they develop over time
  through hard work and dedication. Practicing,
  they learn, is the key to mastery. EHAS will help
  youths look for opportunities to challenge
  themselves to learn and improve. They will
  utilize feedback as a tool for growth. The result
  of this program will be that young people and
  adults alike will embrace a mindset for better
  relationships and more motivated, productive, and
  resilient lives.
• Because of how Bunting suffered in his life and
  nearly lost is all, he knows that life is about
  one thing above all else purpose. For the one
  who has found purpose, life is beautiful. For the
  one living devoid of purpose, life can be
  intolerable. The program centers on purpose in
  those four key initiative areas to kickstart the
  growth mindset. It starts with Buntings Book
  Escaping the Darkness which has ten chapters
  and ten lessons on how to use adversity to find
  purpose. The users will be given examples of
  typical life challenges and will be provided with
  practical tools for dealing with them. It also
  contains practice questions and discussion topics
  from the workshops.

• Users learn how to change the narrative of their
  lives by finding passion and purpose from their
  adversity. The course goes into how to help
  youths think critically which includes a full
  spectrum of understanding the decision-making
  process. Study of decision- making is combined
  with rich discussion topics from the workbook.
  They will gain insight on their life choices and
  what consequences those choices bring. They will
  understand how important it is to strive when
  they and their families have the support they
  need. This program will help youths understand
  how to engage, support, and partner with their
  parents and other trusted adults to achieve the
  best outcome.
• The final part of the program will help them with
  foundational principles and effective tools for
  financial management, budgeting, and investing so
  they can have an appreciation of their
  relationship with money, providing the
  opportunity to improve quality of life.
• Bunting and the EHAS team seek to partner with
  organizations and individuals that understand the
  value of youths and what it looks like to help
  develop their mindset in these critically
  important areas. Anyone who is interested in
