According to Jim Luce, “Leadership is the ability to motivate others towards a common goal. When coupled with a charity or philanthropy, the art of connecting with others to better humanity. This has been our objective since founding Orphans International Worldwide (OIWW) in 1999, ‘raising global leaders.’ And it continued in 2008 with the launch of the J. Luce Foundation, ‘supporting young global leadership.’”

Luce states, “We have sought to make the world a better place, especially for arts, education, and orphan care. The niche of Leadership has allowed us to focus on transferring skills and assets to the next generation - to continue the never-ending challenge of allowing people to be their best.”

Orphans International Worldwide ( www.oiww.org ) began in 1998, “Raising Global Leaders,” and was joined in 2008 by the J. Luce Foundation ( www.lucefoundation.org ) , “Supporting Young Global Leadership.” The Stewardship Report ( www.stewardshipreport.com ) began publication in 2010. This fall, our Executive Committee has become a chapter of Lions Club International – “New York Global Leadership Lions Club ” (NYG-LLC) – with Advisers, Fellows, Scholar, and Leaders joining.
