Empower
Dedicated to the economic and academic empowerment for all in our community, Firebirds are a community of volunteers and businesses who understand the power and influence action can have in inspiring and creating sustainable positive change in the lives of others. Providing their talent, time, and resources to the accomplishment of our shared mission in equal opportunity, personal responsibility, and the endless potential of others.
KANSEL Firebirds embody the energy and strength of a community who believe in second chances, the equality of opportunity and that the best things happen when everyone finds their place in the movement to uplift others.
Uplift
We cannot do it alone. Real, sustainable impact in our communities requires a movement of individuals and businesses who understand our potential is impossible to achieve without changing our culture, the environment in which we live and acceptance of ‘how things are.’
Make no mistakes, the Firebirds are not just a resume builder, we are community builders. We are a ‘roll-up your sleeves’ movement that not only supports KANSEL initiatives, but the initiatives that improve local literacy and empower others into academic and economic success and freedom throughout our area.
Change
A Firebird is more than a volunteer or business, but also an ambassador and catalyst for positive change for those most at risk in our communities and neighborhoods.
A KANSEL Firebird volunteer represents:
- Duty and accountability; to self and those in your stead.
- Compassion; for all individuals and families in our communities.
- Trust; in the ability and willingness of others to contribute.
- Commitment; to try and do things right.
