The Anthony Robbins Foundation Welcomes You!
For more than a quarter of a century, Anthony Robbins has served as an advisor to leaders around the world. A recognized authority on the psychology of leadership, negotiations, organizational turnaround, and peak performance, he has been honored for his strategic intellect and humanitarian endeavors. His non-profit organization, The Anthony Robbins Foundation, provides assistance to those who are most often forgotten by society—the homeless and hungry, the children, the prison population, the elderly, and the physically challenged.
The Anthony Robbins Foundation was created in 1991, with the belief that regardless of stature, only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy; true fulfillment. The Foundation’s global impact is provided through an international coalition of caring donors and volunteers who are connecting, inspiring, and providing true leadership throughout the world!
The Foundation has products and programs in an estimated 2,000 schools, 700 prisons, and 100,000 health and human service organizations. Specifically, The Foundation is committed to reach needy individuals through its various programs: Global Community Connections, International Basket Brigade, UPW Discovery Camp, Discovery Camp Summit, Champions of Excellence, The Anthony Robbins Youth Mentoring Program, Personal Power for Prisoners, and Event Scholarship.
The International Basket Brigade is built on a simple notion: one small act of generosity on the part of one caring person can transform the lives of hundreds. It takes only one light to dispel the darkness, and even just one basket or a few, to bring hope! A Basket Brigade takes place when one individual prepares one basket to personally deliver to a needy family or individual. What began more than 30 years ago as Tony’s individual effort to feed families in need, has now grown into The Anthony Robbins Foundation’s International Basket Brigade, providing baskets of food and household items to millions of underprivileged individuals throughout the world every year. Throughout the Thanksgiving and holiday season International Basket Brigade volunteers deliver food, clothing, and hope to those who need it most.
"Today’s Youth, Tomorrow’s Leaders," is a statement that represents the true passion felt by The Anthony Robbins Foundation toward Youth Leadership. Striving to adhere to the foremost principles of leadership, The Anthony Robbins Foundation has created a system of programs designed to advance hundreds of youths annually into leadership roles with its UPW-Discovery Camp, Discovery Camp Summit, and the Youth Mentoring Program. The Anthony Robbins Foundation truly shapes today’s youth into tomorrow’s powerhouse of adults with activism and determination!
The Anthony Robbins Foundation is honored to provide you with the tools necessary to fulfill your growth and contribution experiences. Our collaborative partnership will restore human dignity to the needy men, women and children throughout the world. You are truly the inspirational force behind The Anthony Robbins Foundation.
Welcome Into the World of Giving!
Why Are You Doing This?
At the heart of all giving is volunteering!
Volunteer Definition:
A volunteer is someone who serves in a community primarily because they choose to do so. Many serve through a non-profit organization – sometimes referred to as formal volunteering, but a significant number also serve less formally, either individually or as part of a group.
The Opportunity!
Volunteering is a fundamental building block of civil society. It brings to life the noblest aspirations of humankind - the pursuit of peace, freedom, opportunity, safety, and justice for all people. In this era of globalization and continuous change, the world is becoming smaller, more interdependent, and more complex. Volunteering - either through individual or group action - is a way in which:
- Human values of community, caring and serving can be sustained and strengthened;
- Individuals can exercise their rights and responsibilities as members of communities, while learning and growing throughout their lives, realizing their full human potential; and,
- Connections can be made across differences that push us apart so that we can live together in healthy, sustainable communities, working together to provide innovative solutions to our shared challenges and to shape our collective destinies.
Philanthropy Definition:
Is the act of donating money, goods, time, or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective. In a more fundamental sense, philanthropy may encompass any altruistic activity which is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life. Someone who is well known for practicing philanthropy may sometimes be called a philanthropist. Although such individuals are often very wealthy, people may nevertheless perform philanthropic acts without possessing great wealth.
Opportunities to Participate as a Volunteer Crew Member!
As a Volunteer Crew Member of The Anthony Robbins Foundation you are an important member of our community who provides global assistance through the following opportunities:
International Basket Brigade
Generally there are one or two people who will coordinate a Basket Brigade in their community. They are responsible for creating and maintaining communication among local Brigadiers and they serve as a Brigade’s liaison with The Anthony Robbins Foundation. Basket Brigades run the gamut. Some are quite simple: a few participants filling a couple of baskets with much needed food. Others are sophisticated, high-octane machines with fundraising and public relations capabilities. No matter what the scale, the focus is the same. Give from your heart and cherish every moment!
The Basic Basket Brigade Steps!
- Organize a group of volunteers
- Create bountiful baskets of food and household items
- Deliver baskets
- Spread the word in your community to generate awareness and inspire giving
- Celebrate!
