THREE DOT DASH ACCELERATES THEIR LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL SO THEY CAN ADVANCE THEIR PROJECTS, MOBILIZE PEERS TO ACTION AND AMPLIFY THEIR WORK TO BROADER AUDIENCES AROUND THE WORLD. THREE DOT DASH CREATES A SUSTAINABLE WORLDWIDE NETWORK OF INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO FURTHER THE EFFORTS OF YOUNG LEADERS BY HARNESSING THE POWER OF MEDIA, MENTORING AND SOCIAL NETWORKING TO FOSTER PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AROUND THE GLOBE. THE MENTORS ARE AN EXTRAORDINARY GROUP OF NOTABLE INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING CEOS, CFOS, LEADERS OF FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS MANY DISCIPLINES.GLOBAL TEEN LEADERS (GTLS) FROM 66 COUNTRIES/TERRITORIES ON 6 CONTINENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THREE DOT DASH AND HAVE POSITIVELY AFFECTED MORE THAN 20 MILLION PEOPLE WITH THEIR WORK. IN 2020, THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC PROVIDED US AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A VIRTUAL VERSION OF THREE DOT DASH. WHILE THERE ARE PROS AND CONS TO BOTH VIRTUAL AND ANALOG VERSIONS OF THE PROGRAM, WE FOUND TWO MAIN BENEFITS TO VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING OUR GLOBAL TEEN LEADERS DID NOT HAVE A BARRIER TO ENTRY TO THE UNITED STATES DUE TO VISA ISSUES, AND MENTORS WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE FROM AROUND THE GLOBE.
