Empowering Futures with WMG
Our Vision
At WMG, we believe that securing our future begins with empowering our youth today. We are committed to fostering growth, resilience, and leadership through strategic investments in youth sports programs, educational opportunities, and active business engagement within our communities. By supporting extracurricular activities that enrich self-esteem, instill time management skills, and encourage teamwork, we aim to create a strong foundation for the next generation to thrive. We recognize the vital role of business in shaping vibrant communities, and through our commitment to youth development, we strive to inspire future leaders, innovators, and changemakers who will drive positive growth for generations to come.
Our Mission
WMG Rising Stars is dedicated to empowering youth by investing in sports and educational programs that build essential life skills and leadership qualities. Research highlights the impact of athletics on professional success, particularly among women in leadership roles. A 2015 study by EY and espnW found that80% of female Fortune 500 executives and 94% of women in C-suite roles participated in competitive sports, often at the collegiate level. Through these experiences, they developed critical skills in time management, discipline, resilience, and teamwork—qualities vital for long-term professional achievement. This connection between athletic involvement and executive success guides our focus on creating environments where young people can thrive and develop into future leaders.
By partnering with schools, communities, and organizations, WMG Rising Stars provides resources, mentorship, and support to prepare today’s youth for impactful careers and active roles within their communities. Our commitment to fostering teamwork, self-confidence, and a goal-oriented mindset underscores our mission to support youth sports and educational programs.
