Chairman's message 

 

Dear Friends & Colleagues of The Admiral Carey Foundation:

 

Welcome to this, the 1st Edition of the Admiral Carey Foundation Alliances & Partnerships Newsletter. And special congratulations to Julie Drinkard on her selection as our Editor. As most of you are aware, the Admiral Carey Foundation supports several newsletters focused on exceptional and outstanding young men and women, but this newsletter is different--its focus is on the organizations, associations and agencies we work with to achieve the training and education that make all of our youth leadership training efforts successful. Given the vibrancy of our nation and culture in this, the 2nd decade of the 21st century, no organization can succeed without a broad range of alliances, partnerships, handshakes, coalitions and friendships that help each other achieve their mission, goals and objectives. The purpose of this newsletter is to give you a thumbnail sketch of some of those organizations that are helping the Admiral Carey Foundation achieve our goals, whether it is in support of and funding for the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program, one of the primary programs we fund, or the broad range of exceptional and exciting other new programs that make up our growth and expansion each year.

 

So take a few minutes to look below at all of the various organizations and groups that we're working with to make ours a better nation, to help our next generation become better leaders, and to help make our planet a safer and friendlier place for all who walk this earth we live on. Again, special congratulations to Julie Drinkard as our new editor. She is now helping to bring our message to the world.

 

With all good wishes,

 

Rear Admiral [Ret.] James J. Carey, Chairman

AFSA is significantly involved with the legislative and budgeting process that is key to support America's military and veterans. These placements provide an in-depth understanding of how these programs are developed, and thus is a major ingredient in this youth leadership education and training. www.AFSAHQ.org

 

 Alliance for Military and Overseas Voting Rights [AMOVR]:  Admiral Carey has been involved in AMOVR's work with military  voting rights and their work through the Pew Charitable Trusts Center for the States.  AJJCF has been supportive by helping fund internships and fellowships in organizations that support military voting rights and who also advocate to ensure that those fighting for our country also get to vote for who sends them to fight. www.AMOVR.org 

AmericanFlag_2 

Associations for America's Defense [A4AD]: AJJCF works with several of the organization members of A4AD by providing funding and support for youth leadership training with those member organizations. These programs have been particularly helpful in adding military and veterans aspects to this level of education and youth leadership training. www.A4AD.us 

 

AuroraFound

Aurora Foundation: Aurora Foundation has been a valuable ally to AJJCF in our ongoing focus to blend future leadership training with the military veteran's need to transition from active duty to civilian life.  Aurora has contributed to funding several AJJCF sponsored military veterans in the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program and has been invaluable in their support of the mutual programs and focus of the Aurora Foundation and AJJCF. www.Aurora4Vets.org

 

code2_logo Call of Duty Endowment Foundation [C.O.D.E.]: AJJCF works  closely with  C.O.D.E. primarily through Admiral Carey's  involvement as a  member of the C.O.D.E. Board of Advisors.

D.I.S. Distinguished International Scholars: AJJCF has spent the last five years developing an ever-expanding involvement in international future leaders on the premise that it is the best and brightest young men and women from these other nations that our future leaders will be working with throughout their careers. The youth leadership training and education that AJJCF supports is designed to be reciprocated with American students going these nations to further their leadership education and to strengthen their ties with these nations.

Distinguished Scholars of America [DSA]: DSA is a new program within AJJCF structured to be able to rapidly respond to new and developing opportunities for training and education of future national and international leaders. It involves outreach to a broad range of U.S. agencies, think tanks, organizations and associations.  www.AdmiralCareyFoundation.org/?page_id=478

 

Canada flagDistinguished Scholars of Canada [DSC]: DSC is a new program under development within AJJC that is designed to enhance, enlarge, and promote increased involvement with Canada's "best and brightest" scholars who come to the USA for youth leadership training. While AJJCF has sponsored numerous Canadian scholars in prior years, the development of DSC is a new Canadian educational program focused on training future national leaders from Canada. Over time this will become a reciprocal program where Americans will also be educated in Canada.

 

D.S.C. Distinguished Scholars of China: This is a new and developing program within AJJCF which provides youth leadership education opportunities for future Chinese leaders who are already studying at American colleges and universities under authorization from the U.S. State Department. The objective is also to soon have Americans students receive youth leadership education and training in China, plus joint participation in the United Nations Youth Assembly program which AJJCF already provides youth leadership delegations. 

 

EagleScouts

Eagle Scouts: AJJCF is in liaison with the National Capitol Area Council of Boy Scouts of America and a program of theirs called "A Gathering of Eagles." We provide outreach to Washington, DC area Eagle Scouts for involvement in AJJCF programs, including the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program.  The Foundation is also in liaison with the Texas A&M "Aggie Eagles" where we seek to achieve the same relationship with their Texas Eagle Scouts.

FutureFarmers

Future Farmers of America: This AJJCF project is located in Wisconsin and relates to agricultural crop research.  The program has been in place for several years and has proven to be particularly successful. Every summer, an FFA delegate travels to Washington, DC to brief Admiral Carey on the progress of the project and what they have learned from their involvement over the previous year.  www.FFA.org

 

GoodSamaritanGood Samaritans of the Knights of Templar Foundation [GSKT]: AJJCF has worked with GSKT for several years, in part because of Admiral Carey's long history with the foundation. GSKT focuses on the foundation of youth leadership training and international youth training through the United Nations Youth Assembly programs.  This strategic partnership continues to produce results in many other areas of youth leadership training and thus is a growing ally in these important efforts.

AmericanFlag_2 

Military Veterans Outreach [MVO]: AJJCF has made an extra effort to provide outreach to military veterans who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life since many of them have never had a job outside of the military.  Particular emphasis is placed on involvement in national public policy through fellowships on Congressional Staffs, or in defense and homeland security related education and training. These placements allow the veterans to better use their military training, work ethic, and team focus to strengthen their transition to civilian life.

A Note From the Editor

 

As The Admiral Carey Foundation continues to grow and become more influential in our society, it is important to create this kind of opportunity to keep those in our network (who will hopefully keep passing it on!) up-to-date on our achievements. Many know of the involvement the Foundation has with the Washington Scholars Fellowship Program, but it may come as a surprise how intertwined it really is with our nation's capitol. It is a constant goal for us to create trusting and lasting relationships with organizations here in D.C so that this incredible program can remain a success. This is why the Alliances & Partnerships Newsletter was created--to give the community a sense of what has been accomplished in order to show just how much further we all are willing to go to "train tomorrow's leaders today."

 

I am honored to be selected as Editor of this newsletter. I sincerely look forward to seeing how far this can go in order to inform the public about the strong relationship AJJCF has with all of these organizations and associations. Please pass this along to friends, family, and colleagues so that they might become inspired to join our movement.

 

Sincerely,

Julie Drinkard
